Ryevitalise Landscape Partnership - Hydrological Modelling

Map-based hydrological modelling is required to steer priorities for practical conservation work related to riparian habitats and restoration of functioning fluvial processes, including natural flood management (NFM) features. The model will support and inform discussions with land managers, as well as steer overall conservation effort across the 413 km2 project area. The focus is an assessment of the catchment with a view to identifying areas where measures can be used to restore hydrological functioning and resilience of the Rye and, in turn, enhance biodiversity and nature conservation of the catchment. Areas will be highlighted for actions and those actions prioritised, to help steer conservation effort.
