The aim is to acheive a chalk river with a variety of habitats within a low-flow, self cleansing, sinuous channel. Improve fish spawning habitat. The river in this location is generally flat, wide and shallow and under normal discharge it cannot sustain energised flow. Additionally, the channel is extremely heavily shaded in parts, preventing aquatic plant growth. There is very little in-channel natural habitat variation and the river has no ability to re-habilitate itself and re-establish chalk stream habitat. <br> Funding - Environment Agency Working in partnership with Dartford Borough Council who are upgrading the footpath alongside the river.
