TRIPLE C (2)

The coming decades are likely to see a higher flood risk in Europe and greater economic damage. New cost-effective solutions for improving environmental and economic resilience are needed in the region. Due to erosion and sedimentation, the buffering and discharge capacity of waterways and fields are being lost, resulting in an increased flooding risk. There is a need to implement techniques that reduce flooding by reducing water runoff and soil erosion. The TRIPLE C partnership will reduce flooding in the participating catchment areas by demonstrating and validating, though a series of pilot projects, how farmers can create cost-saving water retention and erosion control measures upstream.

Implementation and demonstration of water retention features and erosion control measures, and method developed to build knowledge capacity and effective implementation. An enhanced knowledge base will stimulate application of principles elsewhere.
