More information
Floodplains and flood prone areas are relevant for several European policies: the Water Framework Directive, the Habitats and Birds Directives, and the Floods Directive. They represent the transition between land and freshwater ecosystems, with hydrology, soil and biotic conditions strongly influenced stream water and flooding. They provide a range of important ecosystem services such as nutrient and water retention, flood control, carbon sequestration, a diversity of aquatic and wetland habitats, but they are under pressure. Through the LIFE+ programme, the European Union has supported a number of restoration projects.
