How does fractured oolitic limestone impact the Evenlode?
It makes the channel higher as it passes through the soil and geology, into the river quicker
How do leaky dams work?
They slow down the rate of flow
How do corner bunds work?
They reconnect the river with the flood plain increasing friction and infiltration
How does afforestation work?
It increases the surface roughness, leading to more friction and reduced overland flow, allowing for increased infiltration and absorption
