Eden: rewetting – increasing water storage and slowing the flow

In the Eden catchment, we heard of periods of past drainage but now a shift to letting parts of the catchment rewet.  The Rossie Loch ‘The Disappearing Loch’ was gradually drained – with a first known attempt in 1635 and completion in early 19th century – to provide increased pasture.
