Rewetting upland peat bogs, through the blocking of drainage ditches, improves their condition and water retention capability, creates new areas for wildlife, and helps reduce climate affecting emissions. The Pumlumon project recognises that the future for upland farming is threatened; however, there is also awareness that the uplands of Wales offer vital economic opportunities both in terms of carbon and floodwater. * The Pumlumon Living Landscape Project has identified a number of ditch blocking methods to support floodwater management works across of range of sites. * The capital works cost to carry out effective flood water management techniques on degraded bog is minimal. However, it represents a potentially valuable economic opportunity for upland landowners. * The data collected to date have been analysed by CEH Wallingford. The hydrological restoration carried out on Glaslyn has raised the water table by 5cm.
