Revitalising Eden
The Eden Catchment Plan
Opportunity maps for the eco-system services and combined services
Water Quality
Opportunity areas for improving water quality in the Eden displayed at 25m2 and at WFD sub-catchments.
Water quality opportunity areas Darker areas show greatest opportunity for improvement, where opportunity is represented by mapping the following environmental variables weighted according to their effect on water quality: the proximity of fields to watercourses, slope, soil erosion potential and hydrological connectivity and landcover. Proposed, current and completed partnership project locations are also displayed.
Water Quantity (management of high flows)
Opportunity areas for improving the management of water at high flows in the Eden displayed at 25m2 and at WFD sub-catchments.
Water Quantity management of water at high flows opportunity areas Darker areas show greatest opportunity for improvement, where opportunity is represented by mapping the following environmental variables weighted according to their effect on management of water at high flows: landscape connectivity, floodplains, areas suitable for working with natural processes and catchments suitable for natural flood management. Proposed, current and completed partnership project locations are also displayed.
Ecological Networks
Opportunity areas for improving ecological networks in the Eden displayed at 25m2 and at WFD sub-catchments.
Ecological network opportunity areas Darker areas show the greatest opportunity for improvement, where opportunity is represented by mapping the following environmental variables according to their effect on ecological networks: the potential for wetland creation (soil hydrology), the proximity of land to existing priority habitat or woodland, existing strategic or priority habitat areas. Proposed, current and completed partnership project locations are also displayed.
Carbon Capture and Storage (sequestration)
Opportunity areas for improving carbon capture and storage in the Eden displayed at 25m2 and at WFD sub-catchments.
Carbon capture and storage opportunity areas Darker areas show the greatest opportunity for improvement, where opportunity is represented by mapping the following environmental variables weighted according to their effect on carbon capture and storage: existing peatland habitat, soil sequestration capacity, potential for increased carbon sequestration due to land use change, agricultural land class and re-wetting potential (connectivity). Proposed, current and completed partnership project locations are also displayed.
Combining the Ecosystem Services
Opportunity areas to improve the management of multiple ecosystem services
(water quality, management of high flows, ecological networks, carbon capture and storage) in the Eden displayed at 25m2 and at WFD sub-catchments.
Multiple ecosystem service opportunity areas Darker areas indicate greater opportunity for improvement. Proposed, current and completed partnership project locations are also displayed.
