  • River Avon at Bulford
    River Avon at Bulford An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust June 2013 Contents Introduction Catchment and Fishery Overview Habitat Assessment Recommendations Making It Happen 2 Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust visit undertaken on the Hampshire Avon on the Snake Bend Syndicate’s (SBS) water near Bulford, national grid reference (NGR) SU155428 to SU155428. The visit was requested by Mr Geoff Wilcox, who is the syndicate secretary and river keeper. The visit was focussed on assessing the habitat and management of the water for wild trout Salmo trutta. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr Wilcox. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Catchment and Fishery Overview The Hampshire Avon is recognised as one of the most important river habitats in the UK. It supports a diverse range of fish and invertebrates and over 180 different aquatic plant species. The Avon (and its surrounding water meadows) has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC); however, much of the Avon and its tributaries have been significantly modified for land drainage, agriculture, milling and even navigation. 3 The Avon begins its life as two separate streams known as the Avon West and the Avon East, rising near Devizes and the Vale of Pewsey respectively. The Avon West is designated as a SSSI whilst for reasons unknown, the Avon East is not.

  • Catchment Report 2015
    Catchment report 2015 www.wessexwater.co.uk Introduction Welcome to the first edition of our annual catchment report. In the past water authorities organised themselves according to river catchments and often controlled land use around water sources to prevent contamination of groundwater. However, after privatisation the focus shifted to upgrading water and sewage treatment infrastructure to provide greater guarantees that drinking water and effluent standards would be met within short timescales. While major improvements were made to the quality of our drinking water and treated effluent, they came at a high price in terms of capital and operational costs such as additional treatment chemicals and an increased carbon footprint, due to the energy used. More recently, there has been an upsurge in interest in catchment management as a less resource-intensive way to protect groundwater, streams and rivers. Since 2005 we have been carrying out catchment work in cooperation with farmers to optimise nutrient and pesticide inputs to land. This often means dealing with the causes of problems by looking at land use, management practices and even the behaviour of individuals. Addressing the issue at source is much more sustainable than investing in additional water treatment that is expensive to build and operate and leaves the problem in the environment. At the same time we have been amassing data on the condition of the rivers and estuaries in our region to ensure that any subsequent investment is proportional and based on solid evidence. We have also been working on different ways to engage with the public and influence behaviour to help protect water supplies and sewers and, in turn, the water environment.
