    UNECSO ecohydrology site in Scotland

    NewsWater

    UNESCO has approved eight new ecohydrology demonstration sites in Brazil, Chile, Italy, Pakistan, Poland, Sierra Leone, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom. With these new additions, the Global Network of UNESCO Ecohydrology Demonstration Sites now totals 37 sites in 26 countries

    The Eddleston Water project, supported by the Scottish Government in the United Kingdom, is investigating the effectiveness of natural flood management techniques and habitat restoration measures at a catchment scale. NFM is one part of the wider sustainable flood risk management approach which, alongside structural measures, flood warning and behavioural responses provides a risk-based and plan-led approach to reducing flood risk, as well as a potential climate change adaptation response. The project looks to provide the evidence base to assess the value, costs, and benefits of restoring a typical Scottish river system through changes to land management practices, delivered across the whole catchment.
