Flood Resilience Strategy: case studies

Introduction

Around Scotland there are many initiatives underway contributing to our flood resilience – from small scale community led initiatives to national actions led by the responsible authorities. The delivery of these actions has often involved partners working together to achieve a shared vision for how they can reduce flood risk and improve their local environment.

The Scottish Government put a call out to flood resilience partners for case studies to include in the Flood Resilience Strategy. This document brings together examples of those submitted and showcases the diversity of the initiatives around Scotland that are in some way contributing to our flood resilience.

Summary versions of seven of these have been incorporated in the main Flood Resilience Strategy document. All twelve have been included here in their entirety for reference.

The Scottish Government would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the multiple organisations who have shared case studies and provided support in the preparation of this document.
