Abstract: Various types of measures listed under the name of Natural (Small) Water Retention Measures may have significant positive effects on solving environmental problems such as hydrological extremes, nutrients’ transport and decreased biodiversity. We observed, however limited integration of this type of measures in the river basin and flood risk management in Europe. FramWat (Interreg Central Europe) project focuses on tools development and stakeholders dialog, which should help bringing the Natural (Small) Water Retention Measures to river basin planning agenda. So far developed tools: valorisation of river catchment area, static tool for estimation of cumulative effectiveness and decision support system for assistance in retention planning show significant knowledge gap in quantifying the effects of particular measures and they are very much biased to the expert knowledge. Approach is verified by using the hydrological and hydrodynamic models in the case study catchments.
