	A backwater was created along with floodplain ponds and the enhancement of spring tributaries from the valley sides allowed the creation of ground water fed scrapes. All material removed from the valley bottom was landscaped on the valley sides outside of the floodplain and planted with wildflower seed.

	\|Monitoring surveys and results=Project is very recent so just establishing. We have baseline data for fish and river habitat survey as well as detailed drone topo. Post monitoring work will commence from 24 on wards.		\|Monitoring surveys and results=Project is very recent so just establishing.

			River condition assessment pre and post delivery has taken place.
	\|Lessons learn=Allow plenty of time for the development and delivery of a large project such as this where the ecological window for delivery is very limited. Involve all stakeholders at the earliest possible stage of development. Due to the sensitivity of the site, archaeology was a major factor and where this is the case adequate funding should be accounted for to the help manage this risk. Future management of the site is very important to ensure that high quality floodplain habitats are created. Here, the tenant farmer will continue with low density, conservation cattle grazing. The project was carefully designed to not back up any water onto the field immediately upstream.		\|Lessons learn=Allow plenty of time for the development and delivery of a large project such as this where the ecological window for delivery is very limited.
