Watersheds in NatureInsight

Explore the opportunity map in NatureInsight to identify Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Map, edit and customize your options for carbon sequestration, habitat creation, and water storage.

Analyze baseline catchment characteristics and ecosystem services using the Watershed tool. Evaluate the costs and benefits of Nature-based Solutions.

Create design storm hydrographs for any watershed in Great Britain and represent the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) you have mapped within the hydrograph to learn how your proposals reduce peak flows at key locations.

Learn how to import flow data into NatureInsight by adding rainfall events from spreadsheets and FEH XML files to analyse watershed runoff and storm intensity scenarios effectively.

Learn how to perform hydrological analysis in NatureInsight by adjusting flow parameters, adding sub-catchment interventions, and evaluating how nature-based solutions reduce peak flows across a watershed.

Discover how to use the sub-watershed tool in NatureInsight to divide a watershed into smaller catchments, customize maps, and prepare projects for detailed hydrological analysis.
