SUMMARY:The National Flood Management Manual Launch Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The natural flood management manual (C802) covers the delivery of NFM from problem identification through conception\, funding\, design\, construction\, inspection\, maintenance\, adaptive management to end-of-life considerations. It is primarily concerned with the ‘where?’ and ‘how?’ of NFM delivery\, rather than ‘why?’ It aims to provide confidence in NFM delivery and ensure the best outcomes\, recognising that innovation in this area is constantly emerging. \nThe manual is intended for use in the UK and is tailored to the geographical settings and conditions of the country\, although it draws on advice and case studies from elsewhere and could be of assistance for overseas projects. \nThe manual covers NFM measures to reduce the risk of flooding from surface water and rivers. It does not include coastal NFM to reduce the risk of tidal or coastal flooding\, guidance for which is available elsewhere. \nDetailed technical advice is given on four key measures which are considered challenging to deliver and with less detailed information already available. Other measures are covered in one-page summaries with signposts to other guidance. \nThis webinar will introduce the manual and provide an overview of its aim\, scope and content. \nProgramme\nClick here to view the full programme with session outlines. \n14:00 Welcome and introduction\nMartin Janes\, Managing Director\, RRC \n14:05 The importance of working with nature right now\nDenise Bower\, Group Executive Board Member\, Climate and Sustainability\,\nMott MacDonald \n14:15 Overview of The natural flood management manual\nLead Author: Emma Wren\, Technical Principal – Nature Based Solutions\nMott MacDonald \nImportance of The natural flood management manual \n14:35 The user’s perspective\nDavid Johnson\, Technical Director\, The Rivers Trust \n14:55 Break \n15:05 The regulator’s perspective (i)\nPhil Foxley\, Programme Manager\, Flood and Coastal Risk Management\nDirectorate\, Environment Agency \n15:15 The regulator’s perspective (ii)\nHeather Forbes\, Senior Policy Officer\, National Flooding Partnerships\,\nScottish Environment Protection Agency \n15:30 The asset owner’s perspective \n15:45 Interactive discussion and Q&A \n16:00 Closing remarks

SUMMARY:Hydrometic Monitoring for the EA Flood Warning Expansion Project
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the CIWEM Rivers & Coastal Group\nEvent description\nThe Environment Agency’s Flood Warning Expansion Project (FWEP) aims to deliver flood warnings to all properties at high risk of fluvial flooding in England. To achieve this\, the FWEP monitoring team has significantly increased the capability of the Environment Agency to warn and inform the public of flooding. As part of this programme there have been nearly 200 hydrometric monitoring sites installed in 18 months to help provide flood warnings to almost ten thousand properties at high risk of flooding. \nMembers of the FWEP project team will present how they devised a low cost\, small footprint\, low carbon\, adaptable\, risk reduced solution that will potentially change the future of hydrometric monitoring within the Environment Agency. \nThis webinar is open to all and no previous hydrometric or flood warning knowledge is required to attend this presentation. \n  \n  \nPart of the CIWEM Flood Resilience digital series.

SUMMARY:Delivering quality SuDS: Resources for planning officers
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore the pivotal role planners can play in shaping and securing high-quality sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in new development.\n\nBackground\nAlthough England has not yet followed Wales in implementing Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act\, the publication of updated national standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in June 2025 marks a significant step forward. These new standards provide greater clarity and detail than the previous non-statutory guidance and strengthen expectations for SuDS delivery in England. In parallel\, forthcoming updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) may introduce additional policy drivers to support SuDS that reduce flood risk\, improve water quality and biodiversity\, and create more attractive and resilient places for people to live.As a result\, planning officers responsible for interpreting and applying these policies and standards have an increasingly important role in supporting and challenging developers to deliver effective\, multifunctional SuDS. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the latest policy and standards landscape\, alongside practical resources to support planning officers in evaluating and securing high-quality SuDS across the UK. \nWhy attend \n\nBuild confidence in identifying and evaluating SuDS that deliver water quality\, amenity and biodiversity benefits\nUnderstand the roles and responsibilities involved in SuDS evaluation process and how this links to high-quality SuDS delivery\nGain confidence in challenging applicants and designers where proposals do not comply with the NPPF or National Standards for SuDS (England)\nLearn where to access further guidance and support for assessing SuDS proposals\nEarn valuable CPD.\n\nWho should attend\n \n\nPlanning officers\nDevelopers\nLocal planning authorities\nFlood risk managers\nConsultants\n\nWhen\nThursday 9 July 2026\n10:30 – 12:00 \nProgramme\n10:30 Welcome and introduction\nAdrien Baudrimont\, Senior Research Manager\, CIRIA\n10:40 Overview of EA and TCPA resources\nSam Kipling\, FCRM Senior Advisor\, Environment Agency\n10:55 Making sense of the latest SuDS standards\nGlen Westmore\, Co-chair\, Association of SuDS Authorities\n11:10 Getting the most out of the SuDS pro-forma\nEmma Cecil\, Senior Civil Engineer\, Arup\n11:25 Interactive discussion and Q&A\n11:55 Closing remarks\nAdrien Baudrimont\, Senior Research Manager\, CIRIA \nFees \n\n\n\nCIRIA members and susdrain Community of Practice members\nFree to attend\n\n\nNon-members\nFree to attend\n\n\n\n\nBooking\nIf you are experiencing issues registering online\, please complete and return the booking form to Charlotte Draper. \nAlternatively please contact us on 07933 181 765 or email our Customer Services team.\nJoining instructions will be sent two weeks before the event or one working day prior if the booking is made within this timeframe.
