Building on the momentum of February's Floodplain Flow Measurement workshop in Edinburgh, FDRI's innovation team recently installed a network of time-lapse cameras along a known floodplain in the River Severn at Shrewsbury, to explore new approaches to monitoring how water moves across a floodplain during high-flow events, helping to close important evidence gaps in areas where flows are currently ungauged.
The trial will evaluate low-cost, non-invasive monitoring techniques that could complement traditional hydrological measurements and inform future environmental monitoring across FDRI catchments.
