Natural flood management (NFM) isn’t just about tools and techniques - it’s about people working together. Our latest video explores how partnerships are the foundation of successful NFM projects.

We recently connected with farmers and community members in Swaledale and Arkengarthdale to discuss how nature-based solutions (NbS) can help reduce flood risk while enhancing local landscapes.

As Ousewem has moved from research into real-world delivery, our use of modelling has evolved, refining which tools provide the most value at different stages of the process.

By testing how aeration improves soil water storage, we can better understand its role in reducing flood risk. We need the help of local farmers to make this a reality.

We’ve collaborated with landowner, Nick Prince, to deliver impactful measures that reduce flood risks, enhance wildlife habitats, and support farming livelihoods - all at no cost to participants.

2025 is pivotal in our commitment to building climate resilience. We extend our gratitude to all who have supported our journey in delivering innovative nature-based solutions to reduce flood risk.

Ousewem was proud to participate in the 3rd ICE/CIWEM Yorkshire and Humber Flooding and Water Quality Conference, showcasing our commitment to collaboration and innovation.

Ousewem’s delivery team led by The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust continues their farmer-focused journey from pilots to project delivery...

As policymakers increasingly recognise NFM’s importance, the role of precise, adaptable modelling is ever more vital. Our latest video highlights our tools, demonstrating their practical applications.

Ousewem is thrilled to announce the continued expansion of its natural flood management focus areas.
