Catchment flood management plans

Read an overview of the flood risk across a river catchment and the recommended ways of managing the risk.

• From: Environment Agency
• Published: 1 December 2009

Catchment flood management plans (CFMPs) consider all types of inland flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water and tidal flooding. Shoreline management plans consider flooding from the sea.

CFMPs also include:

• the likely impacts of climate change
• the effects of how we use and manage the land
• how areas could be developed to meet our present day needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

CFMPs help the Environment Agency and their partners to plan and agree the most effective way to manage flood risk in the future.

The CFMPs are grouped by river basin district.
