  2. International Scientiffic Conference Towards natural flood reduction strategies Warsaw, 6-13 September 2003 International Workshop for stakeholders in flood management, Natural flood defences: practical constraints and opportunities Delft, 22-23 January 2004 Can we combine prevention of flood disasters with development of nature? • Highlights: • Floodplains do effectively retain flood water • Floodplains comprise valuable ecosystems • Floodplains serve many other valuable functions (social and economic) • Floodplains can be restored • New (EU) policy frameworks are an opportunity to a more integrated approach and a linkage of disciplines • Scientific knowledge is available, but must now be translated into practise • Active involvement of the public/stakeholders makes new flood management strategies successful • Questiones: • How to create social commitment? • How are Natural Flood Defences realised? • How do user functions and land use change as a result of Natural Flood Defences? • What other problems can be encountered, and is it possible to reshape them to successes? • What are the practical constraints & opportunites of NFD?
