URBAN RIVER SURVEY

The Urban River Survey is the product of 10 years of research by Angela Gurnell in collaboration with Angela Boitsidis, Lucy Shuker, Geraldene Wharton, and May Lee, conducted at Queen Mary University of London, King's College London, and the University of Birmingham, and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, Natural England, and the European Commission... The Urban River Survey is a scientific assessment method and suite of tools that supports the work of river managers in urban environments. The survey, which is a development of the Environment Agency's River Habitat Survey, records information on the physical structure of 500m stretches of urban rivers and their margins.
