Ruxley Gravel Pits SSSI: Lake enhancement
Date: 2007
Location: Kent
The two inlets to the gravel pit lakes carry high levels of sediment and nutrients. The creation of cellular reedbeds allows a wide area for the inlet to flow over, collecting the sediment and in time the reedbeds will take up much of the nutrients. Construction of water level control sluices also keeps water levels more constant throughout the year. |
