"...potential strategy to increase #WaterSecurity...

The technology is a combination of #rehabilitation of marginal #soils, #drainage improvement, #WaterStorage, optimal utilization of available radiant energy, and attenuation of the effects of #frost. The main feature of this system is the construction of a network of #embankments and #canals."

And following on here are the Staythorpe workings. The most extensive of the three, together with surviving sluice gates. #River #RiverTrent #Embankments #Archaeology #PostMedieval
Not everyday that you identify a hitherto unrecognised class of archaeological site. I present to you, the workings from which materials to build #river #embankments were extracted. Shallow, sub-rectangular cuttings. Three examples I identified today at #Fiskerton #Rolleston and #Staythorpe on the #RiverTrent #Notinghamshire. Interesting, one working per #parish, suggesting #local #community involvement. Ground #photographs with #LiDAR plots. #Archaeology #PostMedieval
Been planning a walk from the Humber Bridge to the Severn Bridge next summer. 250 miles. Along #River #Embankments on the #Humber #RiverTrent #RiverWitham #RiverAvon and #RiverSevern. And through the #LincolnshireWolds #LeicestershireWolds and #Cotswolds. #Midland counties are the most varied and most beautiful in #England. All part of a new #Research project.
