Project summary
Edit project overview to modify the project summary.
Small deflectors placed within the channel, which could help to encourage the creation of some pool riffle sequences within the channel. There is potential to re-profile some sections of the river bank along recreation ground, which would create shelves for aquatic planting. By re-profiling the banks it would be possible to reconnect the river to its floodplain. This stretch of the Rom possesses natural banks and bed, though in the past it seems to have been straightened, demonstrated by a uniform channel throughout. The river is overly straight where it runs between Carter Avenue and Turpin drive, but is beginning to restore itself in places. The natural gravel bed is evident. Where the river enters the recreation ground it is also straight lacking much geomorphological diversity, the banks are overly steep and uniform.
