    The evaluation of river maintenance
    (Cranfield University, 1993-05) Morris, J.; Sutherland, D. C.
    Rivers serve a variety of interests including those of water supply, drainage, environmental quality, and recreation. One of the main functions of managed rivers is to dispose of surplus water from urban and rural areas. In the case of rural areas this drainage function relates to the control, within acceptable limits, of flooding and water table levels on riparian, mainly agricultural land.

    (Cranfield University, 1993-09) Sutherland, D. C.; Morris, J.
    Silsoe College was asked by the Lower Trent Area of the Severn Trent Region of the National Rivers Authority (NRA) to evaluate the current weed maintenance regime on the River Idle, north Nottinghamshire. The study required the assessment of the benefits of regular weed maintenance activities to users of the river and the disbenefits incurred if weed maintenance was not to be carried out.
