In early October we are holding a workshop event at the EdenDTC Centre based at Sewborwens Farm at Newton Rigg, Penrith. The idea behind the workshop is to provide an update on the work we are doing in the river Eden and also ask for your help in evaluating an online tool we have developed to explore the linkages between land use and land management and flooding. There will be the opportunity to visit some of the monitoring equipment being used to look at water quality in the Eden catchment and for you to ask questions about what work is being carried out. The event is split into three sessions, with the last session a repeat of the first to allow for people who cannot make the earlier time. Details are provided below (timings approximate):
3:30 – 5:00pm Environmental Virtual Observatory pilot tool
demonstration[1]
5:00 – 5:30pm Coffee break
5:30 – 6:30pm Eden Demonstration Test Catchment update and
visit to monitoring equipment
6:30 – 7:00pm Break for food
7:00 – 8:30pm Environmental Virtual Observatory pilot tool
demonstration1 (Repeat of
3:30pm – 5:00pm session)
8:30 – 9:00pm Round up and meeting close
The workshop will be held on Wednesday 10th October and if you are interested in attending or would like further information, please contact Ellie Mackay by email e.mackay@lancaster.ac.uk.

we are developing an internet-based tool to visualise environmental data,
focussing on the issues of flooding and water quality. This tool forms part of
a two year national pilot project called the Environmental Virtual Observatory.
We are currently in the evaluation phase of this project and therefore need
your input and feedback on the design of this tool and what should be done to
improve it to better suit your needs.
