  • Boating on Sussex Rivers
    K1&A - Soo U n <zj r \ I A t 1" BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS NRA National Rivers Authority Southern Region Guardians of the Water Environment BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS Intro duction NRA The Sussex Rivers have a unique appeal, with their wide valleys giving spectacular views of Chalk Downs within sight and smell of the sea. There is no better way to enjoy their natural beauty and charm than by boat. A short voyage inland can reveal some of the most attractive and unspoilt scenery in the Country. The long tidal sections, created over the centuries by flashy Wealden Rivers carving through the soft coastal chalk, give public rights of navigation well into the heartland of Sussex. From Rye in the Eastern part of the County, small boats can navigate up the River Rother to Bodiam with its magnificent castle just 16 miles from the sea. On the River Arun, in an even shorter distance from Littlehampton Harbour, lies the historic city of Arundel in the heart of the Duke of Norfolk’s estate. But for those with more energetic tastes, Sussex rivers also have plenty to offer. Increased activity by canoeists, especially by Scouting and other youth organisations has led to the setting up of regular canoe races on the County’s rivers in recent years. CARING FOR OUR WATERWAYS The National Rivers Authority welcomes all river users and seeks their support in preserving the tranquillity and charm of the Sussex rivers. This booklet aims to help everyone to enjoy their leisure activities in safety and to foster good relations and a spirit of understanding between river users.

  • Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A
    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

  • Stourbridge Canal That I Completed with the Royal Geographical Society
    Gigmill Primary School 2021 1) How do you expect canals to evolve in the future? I see a bright future for them for two reasons in particular. First they are now an integral part of our community infrastructure. By that I mean canals are now used for a wide range of purposes other than just boats or fishing. Many towpaths now carry fibre-optic cables, some canals are Sites of Special Scientific Interest, some are used for hydroelectric power generation (I have actually been inside the one at Dudbridge built by Cotswolds Canals Trust); the list is a long one and is a far cry from when they were just used principally for transport. Second, they are part of a wider, more general development of community health and well-being. This is part of Government initiatives for ‘well-ness’ and canals provide a haven for relaxation, exercise and stress relief. Doctors are now even prescribing something like a walk along a peaceful canal to help counter depression and anxiety, rather than the use of medication. The use of waterways has changed beyond imagination within just a few years; remember it was not so very long ago that there were calls for them to all be filled in because they were no longer of use. Fortunately the restoration movement prevented this happening and, more recently, the transfer of control from the old British Waterways to the new Canal & River Trust in 2012. Learn more about CRT here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/about-us 2) What made the Industrial Revolution so revolutionary? This is a broad question but essentially it was a period when our country turned on a huge scale – and in quick time – from a rural economy to an industrial one.
