“…Co‐production of sites and models with government, industry professionals, and local communities has proven to be particularly effective for designing effective flood alleviation schemes (Clarke et al, 2016; Fitton & Moncaster, 2018). In particular, the importance of community knowledge of areas which become inundated during floods and areas of land that cannot be developed due to particular local social values has been recognised and can provide insight at many different stages of the design and implementation of features (Fitton, 2015). McEwen (2011) suggested that an approach that integrates a combination of expert knowledge and lay knowledge is an effective way of designing solutions which are beneficial to both local communities and professionals.…”

The Pitt Review of the 2007 summer floods in the UK, published in 2008, commended the potential of natural flood management (NFM) for reducing flood risk. NFM is a nature‐based approach that has since gained substantial interest from both practitioners and academics. The review further highlighted the need for catchment‐based flood management (CBFM) to enhance resilience to flooding and climate change by incorporating NFM and wider nature‐based solutions into hard flood protection systems. Such integrated approaches are considered to be more sustainable and adaptable than the traditional hard‐engineered measures. More recently, the European Commission's European Green Deal also highlighted the need for greater use of nature‐based solutions including NFM for managing flood risk. Whilst there have been many attempts to quantify the effects of NFM through hydraulic and hydrological modelling, there is still no systematic review conducted for these modelling works. This review aims to summarise the current NFM modelling approaches, as well as discussing their key limitations related to data, model methods, and real‐world applications. This paper then goes further to highlight potential solutions to some of these challenges and provides guidance to assist modellers to improve future modelling and data collection process.
