RESTORATION: natuRE-based SoluTion flOod Risk mitigATION
Domestic Gardens Identification & Modification: A Nature-Based Solution for Flood Risk Mitigation
Urbanisation has led to increased impervious surfaces, raising flood risks, especially in Dublin, where 63.8% of the city is impervious. Traditional flood prevention methods are costly and unpopular. This project proposes a sustainable solution by developing a decision-support framework for nature-based garden modifications. Using satellite technology, AI, and hydrological modelling, the framework will help garden owners and communities implement cost-effective, environmentally friendly flood risk mitigation strategies. Collaboration with stakeholders ensures practical implementation and widespread adoption.
