Digital Good Practice Manual for Flood Risk Management
SNIFFER Code: WFD98
Year: 2010
Project Status: Complete
Short description: SNIFFER has contributed funding to a series of reports published by the Environment Agency which explores ways of mitigating the effects of flood
defence and land drainage schemes on rivers, lakes and coastal waters.
The first report in this series covers phase 1 of the development of a Digital Good Practice Manual,
providing a checklist and guidance for assessing whether a flood risk or land drainage scheme represents
good environmental practice and, if not, what further mitigation measures/techniques could be used without
adversely effecting the flood defence or land drainage objectives. The second report covers activities on rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters aiming to comply with
requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) but without having adverse impacts on their use (and
taking into account costs). The Digital Good Practice Manual is provided in a parallel report.
