Water and wildlife need space and the current land management payment systems and permitting and consenting process needs to be changed and/or adapted to reflect more dynamic river systems that are given space to evolve. In certain places within our river systems we need to move from drainage to habitat and the regulatory and funding environment needs to be changed to enable this to happen. 51.20483030499,-3.5595892488879 eardles Ben The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty Eardley ,, ,,, The National Trust owns two complete river systems at Holnicote and has been involved in comprehensive hydrological monitoring for around 15 years. The Riverlands project has built on this legacy and has completed flow and water quality monitoring at key project locations within the catchment. The project will continue to monitor water quality and quantity to determine the effect of nature based solutions deployed at scale. Additional hydromorphological monitoring includes high resolution drone monitoring and remote sensing to provide a baseline of river form, groundwater, water and soil temperature, soil chemistry and organic matter and fluvial transport assessment. Additionally the project is also monitoring key indicators including (but not limited to) fish, fish habitat, aquatic invertebrates, bats, nesting birds, grass snakes, water vole and butterfly. 26986 Environment Agency, Somerset Rivers Authority, Interreg 2 Seas Co-adapt River Aller Stage 0 DJI 0294.JPG In progress A catchment scale programme focusing on restoring natural process in the river systems and landscape to deliver benefits for people and wildlife. The programme encompasses a broad range of work from large river restoration scheme, changes in land management, small scale nature based solutions and innovative engagement activities and tools. A virtual tour of the estate is being developed which covers some of the work undertaken as well as two immersive audio experiences that allow the listener to learn more about the landscape and its rivers. http://storage.viewit360.co.uk/national-trust/holnicote-estate Riverlands Porlock Vale Streams riverlands porlock vale streams http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/our-cause/nature-climate/nature-conservation/riverlands-how-we-keep-our-rivers-flowing#rt-our-work-at-porlock Environmental flows and water resources Flood risk management Habitat and biodiversity Hydromorphology Land use management - agriculture Monitoring Social benefits Water quality 2024-01-19T11:28:54Z 2460328.9784028 2024-03-14T11:57:22Z 2460383.9981713 Riverlands Porlock Vale Streams 500 1 list 3 [[Category:Case study]] [[Parent project::Case study:Riverlands Porlock Vale Streams]] Riverlands Porlock Vale Streams# QUERY61d98bfe628308fe4977f436ebf9aa50
