NERC Co-creating railway flood resilience: applying the science of blue-green-grey infrastructure

A principal output of the project was a co-produced systematic approach to the identification of potential for flood resilience enhancement in relation to rail infrastructure using blue-green-grey infrastructure. This approach comprised of:

  • a systematic process for multi-agency identification and prioritisation of flood risk 'hotspots' requiring intervention
  • a system for determining whether source control measures can be used to achieve greater flood resilience, and if so what these measures should be
  • a set of costed blue-green-grey infrastructure for securing greater rail resilience and reduced local flooding
  • a set of assessed ES-related benefits
  • a proposition exploring potential mechanisms for funding works based on PES and ES approaches
  • a case study which shares and captures learning from the project.
