The name Meuse was allready taken so it became Mease? Creative😅

More information please.

In the early 80s we fished club matches on the Anker, Tame and Mease. Good in places; dire in most. Improvement was needed and it's great to see some progress. Excellent work and excellent video.

Modern farming practices are not compatible with effective conservation of aquatic systems. I see lots of bare fields which will contribute to soil erosion and an impoverished water quality. Cover crops would go somewhere towards preventing this.

Everything I’m seeing will add to the problem. Widening the river to deposit that sediment will see in fact that sediment ripped out the next fast flowing flood. Dumping trees that create a dam effect will see again in flood the water ripped the earth to get around them creating erosion issues.

I watch a lot of these habitat clips from all over the world. The key component it appears to me is the different groups coming together to reach mutually agreed approaches. This is happening for example with the removal of hydro dams on the salmon rivers in North West America and the Green Wall being developed by local communities across the southern edge of the Sahara. Great to see this project using this collaborative approach

I see the importance of a mediating Trust that doesn't have a "dog in the fight", so to speak. So all stakeholders are equally heard. Consensus based decision making is the best way. It's not about a Yay or Nay vote for example. It's about listening and understanding until a decision is AGREED upon. Sometimes the minority can eventually sway the majority or vice versa. It's worth adopting this "style" in all our interactions IMO (Google Consensus Based Decision Making)

Bureaucrats are skilled in the art of talking for hours without actually saying anything.

Water health ie water quality 1. In moving water ie river = Fish 2. In collected water ie lakes, ponds = Tortoises. Hence in ancient sanatana dharma fish and tortoise are revered meaning that their healthy population will directly determine water quality. Since human body has 80 percent water in it, fish, tortoise are given status of Vishnu avatars मत्स्य and कूर्मा.

Sustainable urban drainage systems is the correct good thing which must be extended across the entire globe.🙏

Adding chemical fertilizers to land for irrigation means feeding mother ( earth) with poison which is destruction of mankind path.

She hit the nail right on the head @ 4:16, "a lot of the landowners early on were uncertain about WHAT WAS IN IT FOR THEM". Thats really where all ecological projects die, if the only benefit is to the Earth they live on it then its not worth it. Its sick that humans have yet to figure out the benefit for them is a habitable Earth, its the only one we have.

Beavers?

This river is crying out for beaver reintroduction.

Nicely done. Just don't let the privatised water companies anywher near it. They will probably just see a clean river as somewhere to dump their overflowing untreated sewage whilst maintaining their profits and share dividends unaffected. They did a good job initially when first set up, and then just stopped investing at appropriate levels and run for profit as the lansdscape and demand upon them changed.

At 15:45, is this guy putting on a swim vest? Just asking... I mean, it is deep...

Yes, its a very sweet little river too! ❤😂❤😂. Now. Let's talk about the huge rock in the thumbnail! The edge of which looks like chalcedony. I know I must be seeing things. 😢😮😢😮😢😮. I want to see all about that rock and its locale. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Rocks are cool! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Spent ten years restoring a source river after years of over grazing and land clearing we got stuck in and grow several forests then the open cut coal mine arrived 300² square Kms of gray waste rock....mmmmm

Just get a beaver Jesus christ

Fabulous video. Returning the natural order of a river.

If housing has to take land drainage into consideration then the area is unsuitable for housing end of no if's and's or but's .

I feel like you are doing "the lord's work!"

Great video, guys, very well presented and edited. Very professional. Whoever did this video, you should use them again!

Well done to all ye collaborators. Compromise and adjustments and innovations - way forward, and thinking for the future citizenry. Our children, and their grandchildren. Very encouraging.

Farmers generally have a specific political affiliation, which was high-lighted during Brexit where they threw their weight behind Johnson's plans against the advice of the NFU. I'm sceptical about how engaged they are with these projects, seemingly the reason for voting Brexit was in order to do away with 'Red tape' enabling them to develop their farms in a range of different ways enabling them to cut corners and maximise profits and produce food cheaper. The growth in Chicken production and all its associated waste products has been one example of how since Brexit some of our better known rivers have suffered even more than previously with over-site from the EU. Same applies to sea pollution - remember the EU blue flags - they're pretty much long gone now. Another aspect that stymies the recovery of our rivers and ecosystems is the vote winning cutting of taxes. Vote for tax cuts and how do they offset the tax cuts? They cut public sector jobs such as the work done by govt staff on monitoring pollution and following up and bringing people to court for polluting the environment. All that aside, this project does seem to be pretty positive and I do hope it comes together and the river finds itself in a state of recovery. None of this is easy.

No till, rotate crops, armor on the ground, serial moving grazing. You farmers don't NEED those poisons.

Es que los márgenes de protección de esos pequeños riachuelos, arroyos, ríos, lagunas o lagos, son muy reducidos en las zonas de cultivo, y esto se está haciendo en todo el mundo, así como las tierras de labor en las únicas zonas que les queda ya a los animales para desplazarse de un lugar a otro o de unas zonas húmedas ( ultimamente estan labrando o plantando arboles de diversos frutos en las zonas de pendientes o faldas de lomas, montes y montañas, no dejando ya a la fauna desplazarse para sobrevivir libremente de esos lugares a otros, ni tan siquiera a los animales alados o como todos luego deseamos y asi sin miramientos acabaremos por encerrarnos a nosotros mismos y entonces nos habremos convertido en extraterrestres invasores, se nos va a ver el plumero con nuestros propios ojos ) a otras y que sin duda de alguna manera están o estuvieron comunicadas en otras épocas de más lluvias y precisamente el tener estás zonas conservadas naturalmente son las que pueden atraer las lluvias y dándole más importancia sobre todo a las de más altura o donde se pueden detener las nieblas o nubes que son precisamente creadas en esas zonas humedas con la ayuda de la temperatura o el sol. Es muy importante que esas zonas normalmente más bajas o ya mas calmadas en sus corrientes, dispongan de al menos 100 m. A cada lado u orilla de esas aguas. Bueno, es una reflexión la mía, un poco rápida, pero para eso están ustedes los especialistas. Bueno, si, claro, después o además esas zonas de alguna manera pueden ser inundables, pero no por ello en todos su recorrido, hay zonas en las que si y otras en las que no, depende de la geografía con o las curvas de esos cauces, o sea... sirven en algún lado o en otro de protección para los animales o las personas y por lo tanto... Y es o habría que dirigir de alguna manera a esos animales de granja, y otros, los silvestres ya lo buscaran como lo han hecho siempre, pero ahora hoy en día, es una autentica verguenza! para el ser humano, no saben refugiarse ellos mismos, no saben mantener sus falsas economias y tampoco dejan ni a sus animales una debida protección, o mucho menos a otros silvestres ( es una vergüenza! ver a las aves migratorias confundidas sin saber en donde pisar tierra, que les parece a ellos o a nosotros los humanos, cuando no la tenemos segura bajo nuestros pies? ) sobre todo cuando llegan esas calamidades o se prevean llegar, pero no deben estar encerrados y antes enseñarles el camino, luego los mas mayores de esos animales se encargaran de dirigir a los demás para refugiarse ( se sabe y es facil comprobarlo y asi pasa con todas las poblaciones de animales, una vez los animales de mayor edad ya saben el camino ) y seguro que ellos quizá lo sepan antes que los radares y ( es entonces cuando sabremos qué o si hemos hecho algo de verdad muy mal o con respecto a ellos. Quizá acabar o deshacernos de ellos sin miramientos a sus instintos animales y que perdimos probablemente nosotros los humanos donde ya no somos comparables. Sería bueno para todos poder comprobarlo )

well the farmers are putting the phosphate into the land as weed killer on crops that flows into the river so just ban the use of phosphate we dont want it in our food to start with

Did that guy put on a life jacket for 2 inches of water?? lol, probably some rule and he isn't allowed to operate on common sense

Excellent documentary illustrating important works. Quite inspiring. Thank you very much.

Great example of collaborative conservation

Brilliant work !! ❤❤❤. Thank you

Seems that the tax payer is having to cover the costs of cleaning industrial dereliction -

Beavers!

Absolutely love to hear of projects that are working to clean up, improve, and protect our rivers and waterways. It fills me with joy, that we are beginning to heal the damage that has been done, and recreate a sort of 'Eden', that allows nature to thrive. Thanks guys! 🌤️🏞️🦦🐟🤸🧡

Great well dones

Wow what a fantastic clip and well done to all that you are doing. It is so inspirational and it will create a model for others to follow, I am sure

Vegetation can use the functional delivery of nutrients, water flows provide delivery services as large foods often deposits materials that aid in primary production, may be sequestered by suspended sediments or nutrients through the uptake of rooted vegetation thereby removing some of the excess nutrients as productivity gains of this Vegetations realized by cover values, growth rates, Species, let us say Willows, for example, and its broader effects of this greater ecosystem. Slower the runoff, the more absorption may be possible, and retention of available water in wood is consequential in drier portions of the rain/snow cyle.

Marshlands, alluvial banks, wetlands, river channels, stream sides all contain Flora of various Species which adaptively facilitate Freshwater Circulation and Functioning through the Headwater's to the source within all various forms of various life stages that these Plecoptera transfer through as they finally mate, lay eggs, and soon after perish. Meanwhile their biomass, net productivity, survival, and stressors may be determined as they processes are ameliorated, while they still form the food web for many local or migrating Fauna which utilize this ecosystems gross productivity. These large swarms of Insects may seem daunting, yet swamping the environment is exactly what they are capable of!

Possibly warming of water temperatures could forsake breeding opportunities allowing variables that could be Monitored and Studied such as the shredders and grazers of the Watersheds Functional Representation, determining yearly cycles of water deliveries of sediments, gravels, or bedloads, which could include large boulders or other substrate that may move downstream in high flows. This includes downed woody debris, fallen limbs, logs all absorb moisture and rely on hydrology, or waters movements, making deposits within the broader flood plain to slow waters toil, bringing yearly supplements of the Alluvial System to utilize nutrient functioning, including more dissolved oxygen through rapids, cascades, waterfalls which funtionally establishes higher oxygen content. Marshlands, wetlands where the Insects of varied Riverine Structure to allow Plecoptera life stages, complex life cycles, many stages of development and more detailed Information as to Monitor and use their more adult forms gives general population estimates of adults( usually flying) to sustain their own generational pattern to sustain higher population within this Complex.

Thanks. Informative.

Any land that borders a river or stream should be free from artificial fertisers, chemicals and ploughing, including any buildings used for intensive live stock production. Just look at what poultry sheds on the side of the river Wye has done. There is no easy soft approach.

Another good news story. Bob

Rivers need room to meander back and forth, distrubting water across the soil to slowly percolate down back into the aquifer, cleaning sediment and pollutants out of the water.

Great initiative it would be well worth it for the farmers to check out the farming approach of Gabe Brown who went no till farming and reduced most of the chemical inputs which improved both their profits and biodiversity.

I wonder how you pick the weir as historical visage that requires preservation vs the flowing stream has been the historical norm people encountered for many more centuries.

This is excellent advice on what to do and how to work collaboratively! Well done guys. Great job!

La reforestacion en la orilla de los ríos es fundamental. Los árboles se comunican por sus raíces y ayudan entre sí. Señores seguirán los desastres naturales si no hay REFORESTACION de árboles NATIVOS para que vuelva el ciclo de vida. Los árboles regulan la temperatura en la corteza terrestre. Resguardan las NAPAS SUBTERRÁNEAS. Cómo tan poca visión? Ahora estamos parados en una bomba de tiempo. No existiría el cambio climático. No existiría el calentamiento global. Cómo tan poca visión? Hay tiempo 2022. Prioridad para todos los países del mundo. Juntos podemos.
