About
Defra awarded a contract to Jacobs UK Ltd for a desk-based literature review on the water quality and ecological impacts of paludiculture and wetter farming.
The review will identify key findings and evidence gaps relating to two questions: the short, medium, and long-term positive or negative water quality issues and ecological impacts of wetter farming and paludiculture, and the water requirements for rewetting at different scales.
It will consider academic and field-based evidence from temperate peatland systems, existing evidence from rewetting for paludiculture and wetter farming, and reports and grey literature held by Environment Agency teams.
The contract value is £19,919.69.
