You want to forward criminal developers building crappy pressboard lipstick covered McMansions like the criminal #dougford government on #Greenbelt #Floodplains encroaching on Greenbelt? You should have read the rooms on this. As this is an indictment on criminal developers.
What are the driving forces behind #biocultural #diversity (the interconnected and possibly co-evolved complex #socio-ecological adaptation system) in #floodplains?
Can we better manage and restore our floodplains with greater cultural diversity?

#Floodplains are species-rich and endangered. With changing climate conditions, today's protected areas are not enough. A WSL study shows what rare species such as the Little ringed plover and the German tamarisk need to find a home. www.wsl.ch/en/news/floo...

📰🌿🌊A new study focused on the impact of habitat size on #macrophyte species richness and invasions in tropical #floodplains, and identified disproportionate #invasion impacts in small waterbodies.

[10/10] Restaurer des ZEC suppose de dépasser la seule parcelle. Financements, filières agricoles, projets urbains et gouvernance locale conditionnent l’appropriation. Les ZEC deviennent alors des outils de résilience territoriale. #geography #floodplains #restoration
[1/10] Les géographes Sylvain Rode, Vassili Kypreos et Juliette Dereppe analysent la restauration des zones d’expansion des crues en France. L’article montre comment ces solutions fondées sur la nature transforment les territoires urbains et agricoles. #geography #floodplains #restoration
The Eurasian beaver is one of nature’s most underrated climate #resilience engineers 🦫
💡 Beaver-related #restoration can:
🔷 cool water in summer
🔷 increase water storage
🔷 reconnect #floodplains
🔷 create diverse habitats
These changes help landscapes withstand wildfires and #climate extremes 💧
A useful reminder to #PropertyDevelopers that this is what #floodplains are actually for. River Dee at #Cults this afternoon. You should be held liable in perpetuity for consequential problems.
Our SpongeBooster of the month is the water buffalo. They're calm, fluffy, and undeniably cute, but also powerful allies for resilient landscapes. 🐃
💡 Through extensive, year-round grazing, buffalo help #wetlands and #floodplains function like real sponges. 🧽
Most flood deaths don’t happen by rivers — they happen on roads.
Even 12 inches of moving water can float a car.
Turn Around, Don’t Drown isn’t a slogan — it’s survival.
What You Should Know About Driving Through Flooded Streets → medium.com/@alanworldvi... #Floods #Floodplains
Why do we still build in known floodplains?
Because our maps, rules, and incentives reward minimum compliance—not safety.
Resilience starts when cities plan for where water will go, not where it went last time.

Why do we still build in #floodplains — even after tragedies like Camp Mystic or Hurricane Milton? Outdated maps, minimal rules, and rising risk make this a national challenge. Here’s what it reveals about how we can plan smarter, not just higher.

🔎 Restoring #wetlands, #floodplains & #peatlands as “natural sponges” can cut flood & drought risks, boost biodiversity, improve water & store carbon.

In high-elevation Utah, near 9,000 feet, snow should accumulate and stick all winter. Researcher McKenzie Skiles and her team dig a pit to track shifts in snow depth and the volume of water stored there. Image credit: Otto Lang and McKenzie Skiles/The University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
Future #winters promise less #snow in the #mountains and more #rain. That shift could have major implications for #WaterSupplies in regions around the world. In PNAS Front Matter: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

“Unmapped” doesn’t mean safe. Thousands of U.S. communities rely on outdated or missing flood data — leaving homes, roads & lives at risk.

Natural #FloodManagement works With nature to reduce the risk of #Flooding, by restoring/ mimicing the natural functions of #Rivers, #Floodplains & catchment area
@thefloodhub.bsky.social
It aims to store water in the catchment & slow the rate at which water runs into rivers..
thefloodhub.co.uk/nfm/
💧Floodplains are great at storing water, they act like giant sponges which collect and retain the excess water when a river has overtopped its banks during high flow.
Check out this @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social video to see how valuable #floodplains are🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwWN...
🌱✍️ #NaturalFloodManagement (#NFM) involves working with #nature to manage the risk of #flooding for communities.
🌊NFM stores water and slows the flow💧It uses various techniques to restore or mimic the natural functions of #rivers, #floodplains and the wider catchment.
