  • Upper River Witham: Great Ponton Version 1.1 (14.02.14)
    River Habitat Enhancement Case Studies Upper River Witham: Great Ponton Version 1.1 (14.02.14) Location: Great Ponton, Lincolnshire (c3.5km south of Grantham) Upstream Grid Ref: SK929304 Length: 675m Completion Date: End February 2013 Cost: Fords: £11K, Fencing and willow layering £6.8K: Total £17.8K (this does not include the first phase undertaken in 2008) Partners: The scheme was implemented by the Environment Agency with the co-operation and agreement of the adjacent landowner (Stephen Jackson). Grantham Angling Association Fly Fishing Section (GAAFFS) assisted with site selection and landowner negotiations. © Steve Brayshaw © Steve Summary of Techniques: Channel narrowing and flow deflection using woody debris augmented by willow layering; ford refurbishment and riverside fencing to reduce sediment inputs. Location Map © Crown Copyright 2013. OS Licence number 100026380. Background The Upper River Witham rises west of South Witham and flows for more than 65 km northwards through Colsterworth, Great Ponton, Grantham, Long Bennington, Bassingham and North Hykeham towards Lincoln. More than 165 km of river and tributary streams drain the c573 km2 catchment. The landscape of the catchment is varied in character, ranging from the livestock-dominated limestone valleys upstream from Grantham, through the mixed farming terrain of the middle reaches, to the flat-lying arable farmlands downstream from Long Bennington. Over recent centuries, and particularly the last 100 years, the once naturally meandering river channels have been straightened, deepened, widened, impounded and embanked to reduce flood risk and improve land drainage. These modifications, together with catchment land management practices, have contributed to a decline in river corridor habitat quality.
