Identifying opportunities for ecosystem services in landscape systems
01.
Identification
The Solution identifies, ranks and prioritises all potential solutions (considering woodland, agroforestry, semi-natural grassland and water retention features) to river flooding, diffuse pollution and erosion/siltation. The model outputs can also be combined to solve multiple additional problems: groundwater, pluvial and sewer flooding; drought; targeting agricultural management improvements; reverse auctions; irrigation. HydroloGIS added value is unique in the fact that its results cannot be created using standard GIS or hydrological methods because these cannot identify what type of interventions to create; they cannot prioritise or rank solutions; and they often suggest spending resources in inefficient locations. This solution exclusively uses open source or client data; control modelling by local constraints and aspirations; and integrate with standard ecosystem service modelling (such as biodiversity, carbon, pollination or recreation).
