Intense farming plays a key role in increasing local scale runoff and erosion rates, resulting
in water quality issues and flooding problems. There is potential for agricultural …

Runoff attenuation features (RAFs) are low‐cost, soft‐engineered catchment modifications
designed to intercept polluted hydrological flow pathways. They are used to slow, store and …

Natural flood management (NFM) is increasingly adopted as a crucial element within the UK
