By Intercepting run-off and trapping sedimBy Intercepting run-off and trapping sediment, this scheme will help achieve better water quality preventing the loss of soil, chemicals, nutrients, and faecal organisms. A further benefit is their ability to temporarily capture water and slow down flow. his can reduce localised flooding. Improved back channel habitat that is better connected to the main river will benefit fish invertebrates and plants both in the riparian zone and amin river. both in the riparian zone and amin river.  +

Restoration of a former mill channel to imRestoration of a former mill channel to improve backwater habitat for fish, plants and invertebrates. Restored mill channel will also act to improve the quality of surface water run-off from adjacent urban area. </br></br>The River Can is at a Poor Ecological Status and is not meeting WFD objectives for Fish, invertebrates and Macrophytes. Restoring and reconnecting the historic mill channel into the river will create addition habitat. Surface water from the adjacent urban area also discharges into the mill channel. Leaky dams installed in the mill channel will slow the surface water down, allowing any sediment to settle out and filtering any pollution, thus improving water quality. The mouth of the channel has been widened and de-silted. Better connecting the back channel habitat and refuge from both high flows and predators for fish. Warm shallow areas have also been created. which are ideal habitat for fish fry.ted. which are ideal habitat for fish fry.  +
