	In addition to the back channel connection there will also be installation of several bits of woody debris further downstream to kick start geomorphological processes in the river such as riffle creation, berms, flow dynamics and some bank erosion. It also has a part to play in diffuse pollution removal by pushing water through soil which removes nitrate via dentrification.

	All the consents are now in place for this project and earthworks as due to commence in August 2015, completing soon after. Once complete, we should start to see the benefits in the following winter.

	\|Monitoring surveys and results=There will be low key monitoring surrounding this project. Fixed point photography will be utilised to monitor any changes in vegetation and land forming.		\|Monitoring surveys and results=There will be low key monitoring surrounding this project.

	There will be regular monitoring of riverflies in these reach, an improvement in these may point to an improvement in the water quality in this reach.

	\|Lessons learn=The River Pant has low flow issues during the summer, and is also a conduit for the Ely-Ouse transfer system, these must be protected at all costs. Therefore any connection to the floodplain must take this into account. Also, due to the constraints of having to ensure that the landowner can keep access to the surrounding fields we have had to go for a formal connection, in an ideal world we would go for a more informal connection that would offer additional benefits to fish fry and avoid the need for an eel screen to prevent eels from being deposited in the new back channel.		\|Lessons learn=The River Pant has low flow issues during the summer, and is also a conduit for the Ely-Ouse transfer system, these must be protected at all costs.
