Description

The purpose of the manual will be to introduce the practice and the science of using natural methods of flood mitigation on a community or municipality level. It is hoped that these methods can be scaled-up amongst neighboring communities for a multiplicative benefit to the watershed in an integrated manner. Several documents exist online and in print discussing some of the concepts OFDA envisions being incorporated, but no specific guidance exists to assist communities and practitioners in understanding what natural flood management is, how to implement mitigation measures at a local level, and how to address any pitfalls/conflicts associated with such interventions.
