Flood prevention through vegetation engineering : A Nature-Based Solution in the Durance River Basin

How to reduce flood risk with vegetation engineering?

The feedback sheets developed by CDC-Biodiversité, the French UICN Committee, and the OFB as part of the Life ARTISAN project aim to inspire public and private decision-makers, planners, forest and agricultural landowners, or protected area managers interested in implementing a Nature-Based Solutions project. They offer insights into socio-economic and ecological contexts, funding sources, stakeholders, governance, implemented actions, outcomes, monitoring indicators, success factors, and recommendations.

The "Flood Prevention through Vegetation Engineering" project (1998-2013) utilized vegetation engineering to prevent flooding and erosion in the Durance River Basin, enhancing both biodiversity and living conditions. The project also involved multidisciplinary collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
