Planned measures in River Eden catchment:

• Innovative models will be developed and applied to the River Eden system to explore the impact of land use changes on both extreme high river flows and low river flows.
• Based on the modelled outputs, a coordinated catchment stakeholder approach will deliver land use changes for managing river flows while maintaining and balancing other important functions such as agriculture and nature.
• Associated education, skills training and awareness raising work will be carried out with the local community to enhance solidarity within the catchment and ensure public involvement in the project. As land use changes will be required in upstream areas on private agricultural land, it will be crucial develop effective compensation measures.
