A key goal of RevIvel is to restore sufficient flow to the upper River Ivel to support the successful reintroduction of brown trout. Measuring and understanding the water flow in the upper Ivel is a crucial step to achieving this goal.
Over the last few months, RevIvel has been working to install a state-of-the-art flow monitoring station in the upper River Ivel. Funds raised by RevIvel’s members and supporters has made this possible. Thank you.
The flow monitoring station will be tested and calibrated over the winter, ready to track and report the variations in flow throughout 2026. Data will be collected automatically and reported to members regularly.
RevIvel is a firm supporter of getting the local community involved in monitoring the health and condition of the River Ivel, as part of the “citizen science” movement. Measuring flow in the upper Ivel is a huge step forward in working to restore this chalkstream.
