在英国的许多河流洪泛区，防洪、土地复垦和农业水情管理有着悠久的历史。然而，近年来，欧洲和国家在农业、环境和洪水管理方面政策的变化正在鼓励人们重新评估农村地区的土地利用。特别是，通过使用适当的促进机制，可以开发洼地地区，这些地区将同时适应冬季洪水，支持粗放耕作方法，提供环境效益，并以支持农村经济的方式实现这一目标。本文探讨了蓄洪开发和洼地建设可能产生的经济影响。在此过程中，要考虑此类开发的可行性、对各种栖息地和物种的环境影响以及实现实施所需的财务和体制机制。
In many river floodplains in the UK, there has been a long history of flood defence, land reclamation and water regime management for farming. In recent years, however, changing European and national policies with respect to farming, environment and flood management are encouraging a re-appraisal of land use in rural areas. In particular, there is scope to develop, through the use of appropriate promotional mechanisms, washland areas, which will simultaneously accommodate winter inundation, support extensive farming methods, deliver environmental benefits, and do this in a way which can underpin the rural economy. This paper explores the likely economic impacts of the development of flood storage and washland creation. In doing so, consideration is given to feasibility of this type of development, the environmental implications for a variety of habitats and species, and the financial and institutional mechanisms required to achieve implementation.
