on river restoration is a mangled quote from a movie boxing is an unnatural act everything in boxing is backwards sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step backwards but step back too far and you ain t fighting at all so my mangled version starts out everything in rivers is backwards basically i never seem to run out of new examples of what seems to happen in a river is actually the complete opposite of what really happens the rest of this article looks at many of the backwards things about weirs and rivers and finishes off with a real world case study that is playing out right now on the river dove one spoiler alert is that from an ecological point of view it is almost always safe to assume that the best biological outcome for a river is the removal of some or all of an

queslett have seen me criss crossing the m6 and m69 and the surrounding areas what always surprises me is just how much of the black country coventry area is essentially floating on a vast network of underground watercourses which suddenly pop up into daylight in surprising places of course this puts a lot of pressure onto the biology of these streams not only from the physical encasing of their

phases of works on the middle reaches of the lyme brook shown in previous blogs here and here from project works that began in 2015 well although the first surveys after that work found some nice

trout like this one on sept 7th 2017 i received a phone call today from matt lawrence who is the ea s catchment host for the trent valley catchment partnership with key partners groundwork west
