A paper has just been published in the international journal, Water focussing on lessons learned from 12 years of monitoring of Scottish Government’s Eddleston Water study. The paper reviews the monitoring strategy and assesses how the monitoring networks developed meet its strategic aims, and what and why subsequent changes have been made in monitoring design and implementation. Covering hydrology, hydromorphology and ecology it also explores how these are integrated to provide a comprehensive assessment of restoration success, and what lessons can be learned to help inform other studies.
