Potential demonstration sites: Scotland - SEPA IUCN Workshop 25-26thOct 2017 Roberto Martinez Senior Hydromorphologist
Main pressures/measures: In terms of funding for Scottish Government: Priorities for Scottish Government Barriers (we have scoped 37 barriers this year) Urban environment (Priority for the existing RBMP). Culverts Removal of hard bank protection and creation of inset floodplains. Rural Environment (next RBMP s) and Pilot Catchment Over-deepened channels: two-stage channel Embankment set back Realignments, assess energy for self-recovery Large woody material New projects but not funded by Scottish Government
