Can floodplains deliver everything we need from them?

From the 1930s to the 1970s we thought that floodplains were there to produce more food and many were drained to increase production.  Since the 1980s environmental concerns have come to the fore and now flood management is rising up the agenda.  How can we balance these competing demands?  A new policy and practice note from Relu "Integrated Management of Floodplains" takes a look at how an ecosystem services approach can help policymakers to understand the synergy and trade-offs that have to be made.  Contact relu@ncl.ac.uk for hard copies.
