How can we effectively monitor river habitat structure and geomorphology?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Physical modification is the main reason for rivers Welsh rivers failing to achieve Good Ecological Status. Modifications to floodplains have significant impacts on ecosystem health and flood risk. However limited information is available on the extent and specific impacts of these modifications. This information is required to inform ecosystem resilience and restoration opportunities.

How can we improve our understanding regional and sub-regional sediment budgets?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
” NRW wants to improve the evidence base on sediment budgets in Welsh waters, by conducting a review of the adequacy of existing information, the methodology applied, identification of any data/evidence gaps and areas that need to be updated. The review, intended to be a desk based study, should provide recommendations as to the merit in updating the sediment budget. This will inform further work on sediment budgets in NRW. Whilst this evidence request applies to the whole Welsh coast it can be delivered through smaller scale projects applied regionally. The methodology should be informed by this handbook https://www.gov.uk/flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management-research-reports/sediment-budget-analysis-practitioner-guide
