Eddleston Water Project
The Eddleston Water living laboratory aims to monitor the effects of restoring natural habitats on attenuating floods and improving ecological status through a variety of techniques, on a variety of different land uses.The main aims of the project are to investigate the possibility of reducing the risk of flooding to the communities of Eddleston and Peebles by restoring some of the original natural features of the catchment; work with landowners and communities in the Eddleston valley to maximise the benefits they would gain from such work, while maintaining the profitability of local farms; and improve the river habitat for wildlife and fisheries.
