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:Bioretention Research & Practise - Outcomes & impacts of 3 year collaboration research project (Urban Green DaMS)
DESCRIPTION:This free event\, hosted by The University of Sheffield and Newcastle University\, will provide insight into the outcomes and impacts of a three-year collaborative research project (Urban Green DaMS) to improve design parameters for biofilters/raingardens.\n\nLimited places to in-person event\nPlaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis. If you are unable to register online\, please email Susan Richards to be added to the wait list. We reserve the right to limit the number of registrations per company.The session will be recorded and made available to anyone unable to attend in person. Please register for the ‘seminar recording’ to be notified when this is available. \nBackground\nDrainage/flood protection engineers need to be able to quantify how SuDS devices respond to rainfall events – including the extreme events that are responsible for flooding – to effectively use SuDS for stormwater management purposes. \nBiofilters (also known as raingardens) manage runoff from catchments typically ten times larger than their own plan area and provide filtration of pollutants associated with road runoff.ly \nThe ’Urban Green DaMS’ project collected data from a combination of full-scale test beds (lysimeters) at Newcastle University and column tests at The University of Sheffield. The data will help understand and quantify the influence of design parameters (growing media composition\, planting selection and outlet control configuration) on the rainfall retention (ET rates) and runoff detention performance (K values and outlet controls) of lined biofilter systems. \nFindings of the three-year EPSRC-funded collaborative research project will be summarised by the researchers and use of the data within modelling for rainwater management will be discussed. \nSuDS practitioners will talk about the impact of this work on design\, implementation\, regulatory targets\, and guidance including incorporation into the forthcoming update of CIRIA’s The SuDS Manual (C753F). They will also provide an overview of important ongoing retrofit SuDS projects. \nSponsorship opportunities\nFor more information about sponsorship opportunities\, please contact Louise Walker. \nWhy attend \n\nLearn how different types of vegetation and outlet controls impact surface water retention and detention in raingardens.\nUnderstand the impact of evapotranspiration and hydraulic conductivity on raingarden performance.\nDiscover how new data on raingarden performance can be included in the most commonly used modelling tools.\nParticipate in discussions on appropriate regulatory targets for surface water management.\nHear about the planned approach to update to The SuDS Manual (C753F) and incorporate knowledge from the latest research and practice..\nGain insight into the evolution of retrofit SuDS from practitioners involved in large-scale projects.\nEarn valuable CPD.\n\nWho should attend\nLead Local Flood Authorities\, Local authority planners\, Local authority highways teams\, Regeneration and redevelopment specialists\, Urban designers\, Engineering consultants\, Landscape architects\, Sewerage undertakers\, Environmental regulators\, Researchers\, SuDS designers\, Environmental organisations\, susdrain partners and supporters. \nWhen\nMonday 19 September 2022\n12:30 – 18:00 \nProgramme\n12:30 Welcome lunch \n13:30 Welcome and introduction\nProfessor Virginia Stovin\, Professor of Green Infrastructure for\nStormwater Management\, The University of Sheffield \n13:45 Effects of different vegetation and outlet controls on retention and detention\nwithin biofilters – lysimeter findings\nDr Daniel Green\, Research Associate: Sustainable Drainage\,\nNewcastle University \n14:00 – Effect of different vegetation on evapotranspiration rates and hydraulic\nconductivity within biofilters – column test findings\nDr Simon De-Ville\, Research Associate\, The University of Sheffield \n14:15 – Reflections on bioretention modelling\nDr Simon De-Ville\, Research Associate\, The University of Sheffield \n14:30 – Modelling SuDS with Autodesk InfoDrainage\nDaniel Yardley\, Product Engineer\, Autodesk \n14:45 – Interactive discussion and Q&A \n15:00 – Networking break \n15:30 – Stormwater management metrics: how do we quantify stormwater\nmanagement performance and what should our regulatory targets be?\nProfessor Virginia Stovin\, Professor of Green Infrastructure for\nStormwater Management\, The University of Sheffield \n15:45 – Updates to the CIRIA SuDS Manual\nBridget Woods-Ballard\, Technical Director\, HR Wallingford \n16:00 – – SuDS Design and Implementation – 20 years on\nZac Tudor\, Associate Landscape Architect\, Arup \n16:15 – Severn Trent Water’s Mansfield retrofitting programme\nJohn Brewington\, Regional Development Manager\, Severn Trent Water \n16:30 – Interactive discussion and Q&A \n16:55 – Closing remarks \n17:00 – Networking drinks \n\n\nFees\nsusdrain partners and supporters Free to attend\nCIRIA members Free to attend\nNon-members Free to attendBooking\nPlease sign in or create an account to register online for this event.\nIf you are experiencing issues registering online\, please complete and return the booking form to Susan Richards.\nAlternatively please contact us on 07933 181 765 or email our Customer Services team.\nConfirmation emails will be sent 10 days before the event. \nNotice for new bookings from EU/EEA customers only\nCIRIA is currently unable to directly process your transaction if you are purchasing from the EU/EEA region.

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.
