在英国，洪水是一种非常昂贵的自然灾害，预计在未来气候变化的情况下将进一步增加。洪水防御通常是为了保护社区和财产免受洪水的侵害，但近年来洪水管理政策一直在寻求解决方案，通过在整个流域进行有针对性的干预，有时使用涉及自然过程的技术来减轻洪水易发地点的洪水风险。本文介绍了一个项目，以提供一个简洁的摘要，自然科学的证据基础上的有效性集水区为基础的“自然”洪水管理在英国。证据摘要的设计是为了让知情但不是技术专家的读者阅读。每一份证据陈述都被归入描述基本信息性质的四个类别之一。证据摘要构成本文件的附录，电子补充材料中提供了附加说明的参考书目。
Flooding is a very costly natural hazard in the UK and is expected to increase further under future climate change scenarios. Flood defences are commonly deployed to protect communities and property from flooding, but in recent years flood management policy has looked towards solutions that seek to mitigate flood risk at flood-prone sites through targeted interventions throughout the catchment, sometimes using techniques which involve working with natural processes. This paper describes a project to provide a succinct summary of the natural science evidence base concerning the effectiveness of catchment-based ‘natural’ flood management in the UK. The evidence summary is designed to be read by an informed but not technically specialist audience. Each evidence statement is placed into one of four categories describing the nature of the underlying information. The evidence summary forms the appendix to this paper and an annotated bibliography is provided in the electronic supplementary material.
