Abstract

As floods in Australia become more frequent, researchers are working with communities in New South Wales and Queensland to trial Nature-based Solutions. Restoring wetlands, planting trees, and rebuilding stream channels can slow floodwaters and lessen impacts. New guidelines now show how these solutions can be applied across regions to manage risks more effectively.
