The Freshwater Taskforce of the Scottish Environment LINK welcomes the Scottish Government consultation on the future of flood risk management in Scotland. We see this as an opportunity to make progress from the current fragmented approach to flooding towards a more sustainable, modern approach that works with, rather than against the natural processes. Benefits will not be restricted to people and economy, but will also benefit biodiversity and the wider environment.
This consultation response outlines the areas we believe any legislation should address.
