| Overview |
Over time the increasing human use of floodplains for high value enterprises not only leads to an enhanced vulnerability in the affected reach but also to a strong pressure for active, technical flood protection.
Within an integrated flood risk management non-structural measures gain increasing importance. Thereby, the existence of inundated floodplains plays a central role. Even today in many river systems cut off floodplains can be reactivated by restoration e.g. by dyke re-displacement. Social acceptance of non-structural measures for flood risk reduction and the perceptions of flood risks and of flood risk management have still to be improved.
What's ERA-NET CRUE?
CRUE ERA-NET aims to introduce structure within the area of European Flood Research by improving co-ordination between national programs. The vision for the CRUE ERA-NET action on flooding is to develop strategic integration of research at the national funding and policy development levels within Europe to provide knowledge and understanding for the sustainable management of flood risks.
The vision of the ERA-NET CRUE project - which is an funding initiative within the Sixth EU Framework Programme - is to accomplish the integration, consolidation and dissemination of research work and its results in the field of flood risk management in Europe and to implement them on institutional level across the European partner countries. CRUE is the acronym for "Coordination de la Recherche sur la gestion des inondations financée dans l'Union Européenne" (Coordination of the research financed in the European Union on flood management).
