Abstract
Chapter 37 highlights that flooding is a complex spatial planning challenge and therefore requires a range of tools and approaches to solve the problem. Solutions are likely to require sustainable drainage system (SuDS) solutions applied on a small scale combined with sustainable flood retention basins (SFRB) used on a large scale. This chapter aims to provide guidance on 40 variables used to rapidly assess water bodies including SFRB in terms of their flood and diffuse pollution control purpose and potential. The variables described should be the basis for the characterization of SFRB, which are adaptive structural measures well integrated within the landscape promoting best management practice as part of a sustainable flood risk management strategy. Readers will learn about novel variables such as Engineered, Outlet Arrangement, Aquatic Animal Passage, Land Animal Passage, Basin and Channel Connectivity, Seasonal Influence, Relative Total Pollution, and Flotsam Cover. The list includes also sum parameters such as Relative Total Pollution, which address several complex environmental processes.
