Abstract

The Littlestock Brook Natural Flood Management (NFM) trial was a pilot project that ran from 2016 to 2022. Key objectives were to reduce flood risk to Milton-under-Wychwood and enhance the river environment. Through partnership working the Environment Agency collaborated with Wild Oxfordshire, the Evenlode Catchment Partnership, Bruern Estate and the local community to deliver NFM measures. UKCEH has undertaken a detailed monitoring campaign to assess the effectiveness of the measures on reducing flood flows and improving water quality. This report describes the monitoring network, observational methods, equipment adopted, the data processing and analysis undertaken.
