STREAM - Linking river and floodplain Management

This advice note summarises the STREAM project’s experience of linking river and floodplain management. It is one of three STREAM advice notes, covering planning and delivery of river restoration and linking river and floodplain management. STREAM is project centred on the River Avon and the Avon Valley in Wiltshire and Hampshire, Southern England. STREAM has worked to address two key issues: the need for a strategic approach to large-scale river restoration, and the need to integrate the management of the river and valley. It is part of a broader initiative that encompasses restoration of designated sites, wider biodiversity work and a programme of community engagement.
