Some are national bodies like fairly dry winter and spring only partially recharged the Defra, the Environment Agency and the Heritage Lottery aquifer and the Test, like other chalk streams and rivers Fund, others are European like the Water Environment in WCSRT’s area, is now running low and very clear. Every Grant scheme which is paying for two big sediment frond of weed can be seen distinctly, with trout and reduction projects. Still other money comes from local grayling holding in the deeper holes. The river and its water companies to help fund our catchment surroundings look stunningly beautiful on a sunny day, partnerships, while vital funds for our core costs such as but I would rather see more flow and less clarity, not to staff salaries and office facilities are most generously mention a lower water temperature.

Without their help our rivers and their valleys with cowslips in the early spring, then a mass of would be poorer places. buttercups, kingcups, ox eye daisies, mallow and many others, culminating with a tremendous flush of purple George Seligman pyramidal orchids in late June. 20 years ago these water Chair of Trustees meadows were in permanent set aside after being ploughed for potatoes and maize before that. Under successive agri-environmental schemes sponsored by Natural England and their predecessors the meadows have gradually gone back to flower-rich grassland with a simple restorative regime: cut hay in July, graze sheep in the autumn and otherwise leave Nature to her own devices. It seems to be working fine. This is the Year of the Salmon and we report below on some of the educational work in local schools carried out by WCSRT to highlights the plight of this iconic and inspirational fish. The decline of the Atlantic salmon has been rapid across its range: even countries like Iceland which have had huge runs in the recent past are seeing major declines. The small numbers of salmon now returning to the Test, Itchen and Avon make us all fear for their survival in the south of England. Much of the work of WCSRT and other charities is intended to prevent this potential catastrophe. We intend to redouble our educational efforts and in the coming year WCSRT will be raising funds specifically to expand our educational arm. In this edition of our newsletter you will read how WCSRT continues to grow and hire more staff to handle major new projects. Chairing a Rivers Trust feels like a continuous process of seeking out new ways to finance the almost unlimited number of tasks which can be carried out to restore our water bodies to better health. 2 ISSUE 9 | SEPTEMBER 2019 CONTENTS 02 Chairman's Welcome George Seligman CEO's foreword 03 CEO's Foreword Summer has come… and maybe already gone again when you get a Martijn Antheunisse chance to read the summer edition of the Trust’s newsletter.

  • River Test – Tufton
    River Test – Tufton An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – April 2009 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the River Test at Tufton near Whitchurch in Hampshire. The advisory visit was carried out at the request of the Hampshire Wildlife Trust. The Trust is looking at various options for enhancing local biodiversity and exploring possible habitat enhancement opportunities under Higher Level Stewardship agreements with the landowners. 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. 2. Catchment overview The River Test is nationally recognised as the quintessential chalk river and is designated for most of its length as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The Test has a world-wide reputation for being a first class trout (Salmo trutta) fishery. Much of the middle and lower river is heavily stocked with hatchery derived trout to support intense angling activity. Where good quality habitats are maintained the river has the capacity to produce viable numbers of wild fish. A major bottleneck to enhanced wild production is thought to be through poor in- gravel egg survival. Comparatively small areas of nursery habitat also restrict the development of wild stocks. Where decent habitats are found and preserved, survival rates of fry are usually superb due to rapid growth rates. Habitat quality on the Test varies enormously. The river channels are virtually all heavily modified, artificial and originally constructed for power generation or water meadow irrigation.

  • Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. by Dr
    Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. By Dr. Carolyn Cobbold, BSc Mech Eng., FRSA Richard C J Pratt, BA(Hons), PGCE, MSc (Arch), FRGS Despite the ‘duty of cooperation’ set out in the National Planning Policy Framework1, there is mounting evidence that aspects of the failure to deliver actual cooperation have been overlooked in the recent White Paper2. Within the subregion surrounding the Solent, it is increasingly apparent that the development pressures are such that we risk losing sight of the natural features that underscore not only the attractiveness of the area but also the area’s natural health itself. This paper seeks to focus on the aquatic connections which maintain the sub-region’s biological health, connections which are currently threatened by overdevelopment. The waters of this sub-region sustain not only the viability of natural habitat but also the human economy of employment, tourism, recreation, leisure, and livelihoods. All are at risk. The paper is a plea for greater cooperation across the administrative boundaries of specifically the eastern Solent area. The paper is divided in the following way. 1. Highlands and Lowlands in our estimation of worth 2. The Flow of Water from Downs to Sea 3. Wetlands and Their Global Significance 4. Farmland and Fishing 5. 2011-2013: Medmerry Realignment Scheme 6.

  • The Middleton Estate
    WELCOME TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE Dear Angler, Welcome to the Middleton Estate! By now I hope you are settled and are relaxing with a cup of coffee. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. THE RIVER TEST The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and flows through the Hampshire downlands from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning into a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through the villages of Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed, then through the grounds of Roke Manor before reaching the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton.

  • Abbots Worthy Fishery River Itchen, Hampshire
    Abbots Worthy Fishery River Itchen, Hampshire Abbots Worthy Fishery River Itchen, Hampshire Winchester 3 miles (London Waterloo 57 mins), Alresford 6 miles and Stockbridge 10 miles. Syndicate membership for the Abbots Worthy beat on the Itchen Introduction The River Itchen is considered to be one of the finest English chalk streams by anglers worldwide. Rising from the Hampshire chalk downland near New Cheriton, the river has a reported catchment area of 280 miles from its source where it is known as the Titchbourne Stream. The river is approximately 28 miles long and flows north to New Alresford where it is joined by two spring fed streams, the Erle and the Candover Brook, becoming the River Itchen flowing west past Ovington and Itchen Abbot, east to Abbots Worthy and south to Winchester and Southampton where the river becomes tidal and joins the reaches of the River Test on Southampton Water. The river is highly sought after for its quality of water and fly fishing and almost completely wild trout population. Situation The Abbots Worthy beat on the Upper Itchen is located on the edge of the village of Abbots Worthy approximately 3 miles to the north of the cathedral city of Winchester. Within Abbots Worthy and the adjacent Kings Worthy there are everyday conveniences including shops, post office and public house. Winchester provides a comprehensive range of shops, cultural and recreational facilities and a wide choice of restaurants and wine bars. Travel and communications are excellent with the A33, A34 and M3 adjacent giving access to both London and the south coast, Oxford, the north and the A303 for the west country.

Despite the increased prominence of ecological measurement in fresh waters within recent national regulatory and legislative instruments, their assessment is still almost exclusively based on taxonomic structure. Integrated metrics of structure and function, though widely advocated, to date have not been incorporated into these bioassessment programmes. We sought to address this, by assessing community structure (macroinvertebrate assemblage composition) and ecosystem functioning (decomposition, primary production, and herbivory rates), in a series of replicated field experiments, at watercress farms on the headwaters of chalk streams, in southern England. The outfalls from watercress farms are typically of the highest chemical quality, however surveys have revealed long-term (30 years) impacts on key macroinvertebrate taxa, in particular the freshwater shrimp Gammarus pulex (L.), yet the ecosystem-level consequences remain unknown.
