Brook length has been increased with the introduction of a meanders along with shallower, soft banks and variation in flow and bed conditions.<br /> <br /> With the material produced from the channel excavations, a shallow bund has been constructed to retain flood waters within the park in order to help reduce flooding of downstream properties.<br /> <br /> In an effort to raise awareness of the watercourse and to create a more attractive park environment, 2 new bridges will take an existing path over the new brook channel.<br /> <br /> This part of the brook is one of the few sections not within a culvert as it flows through Gedling Borough.

Brook length has been increased with the introduction of a meanders along with shallower, soft banks and variation in flow and bed conditions.<br /> <br /> With the material produced from the channel excavations, a shallow bund has been constructed to retain flood waters within the park in order to help reduce flooding of downstream properties.<br /> <br /> In an effort to raise awareness of the watercourse and to create a more attractive park environment, 2 new bridges will take an existing path over the new brook channel.<br /> <br /> This part of the brook is one of the few sections not within a culvert as it flows through Gedling Borough. Beyond this section the brook continues to flow within a heavily modified channel and the entire length is subject to pollution from diffuse, urban sources.<br /> <br /> This project is a sister project to the Day Brook rain gardens - http://restorerivers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Case_study%3ADay_Brook_Rain_Gardens<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Before 2.JPG<br /> |Caption=Day Brook before<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Before 3.JPG<br /> |Caption=Day Brook before<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Construction.JPG<br /> |Caption=Day Brook construction<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site}}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations}}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>
