Coupled with this, widespread dredging has occurred and flood embankments have been created to protect agricultural land. The project's objectives were to improve the river corridor habitat by restoring river processes and reconnect the river and its floodplain and to develop an experience base that would serve the River Glaven Conservation Group (RGCG) well on other projects. The project provides a unique opportunity to monitor and model river and floodplain interactions. A MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 coupled hydrological/hydraulic model was employed to assess the impact of floodplain reconnection. Using data from 2007 to 2010, the study found that the removal of the embankment permitted widespread inundation of the floodplain at high flows (>1.7m3s-1) as well as enhancing flooding of the immediate riparian area during lower magnitude events. Removal of embankments has found to have reduced the channel capacity by approximately 60%, suggesting that overbank flooding was the most dramatic hydrological effect following the restoration project (Clilverd et al. 2013).
