Catchment Flood Management Plans

Catchment Flood Management Plans (CFMPs) are strategic plans developed to manage and reduce flood risks within a specific geographic area, known as a catchment. They involve assessing flood hazards, understanding how water flows and accumulates, and identifying actions to protect communities, infrastructure, and the environment. These plans consider various factors like rainfall, land use, and climate change, aiming to balance flood risk reduction with preserving natural water systems. CFMPs guide decisions on flood prevention measures, land management, and coordinated efforts among stakeholders to ensure effective and sustainable flood risk management.
