The Severn Valley Water Management Scheme ‘demonstrator project’ is managed by Shropshire Council through the River Severn Partnership and has its focus on the Rea Brook, which flows into the River Severn in Shrewsbury.

It aims to provide a suite of nature-based flood management schemes that will demonstrate different measures that can both hold back water and also enhance habitat and biodiversity.

Just south of a million quid - throw some beavers at it and they'll get the job done.

1 million is pretty darn cheap compared to other flood management options being used now.

Plus, you may be underestimating the cost of current beaver reintroduction plans. Of course, both are needed for other reasons, environmental diversity wise. But south of 1 million is a positive, not negative, of this project. If it actually happens.

Wait, that's the actual headline? Ffs. Dumbing down of mainstream media continues apace. I really hope that was written by an LLM and not someone who went to University to study journalism.

most of these garbage articles aren't even written by LLMs but even dumber pre-LLM models or methods
