Alresford Pond SSSI, Hampshire
Medieval Alresford Pond has over many years become heavily silted leading to a significant decline in its habitat quality and the loss of many of its characteristic plants and wild creatures. In order to facilitate proposals for restoration of the lake, we were commissioned by Hampshire Wildlife Trust to undertake comprehensive desk study of what is known of the hydrology and hydro-ecology of the lake. Also, to investigate the water chemistry and sediment types present and their interactions, especially in regard to potential of plant nutrients given any restoration proposals such as by dredging.
