Flood Risk Management Plans and River Basin Districts

Flood Risk Management Plans covering three main River Basin Districts (North Eastern, Neagh-Bann, and North Western) are required to set out objectives, measures and action plans for managing flood risk, with cross-border coordination with the Republic of Ireland where basins overlap.

Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) are due to be published by December 2015. The FRMPs will apply to each of the three main River Basin Districts in Northern Ireland, namely North Eastern, Neagh-Bann and North Western. As two of the River Basins are also partially within the Republic of Ireland, a cross border implementation group has been set up to ensure a uniformity of approach between the two jurisdictions. The plans are required to set out objectives, measures and action plans for managing the flood risk within each River Basin / Catchment
