The River Crane in West London is the UK’s first urban Smarter Water Catchment and since 2020 has benefited from £3m of direct investment across five main themes – community and access; biodiversity; water quality; geomorphology and flooding – with at least £20m of further investment identified.
This webinar sets out the main findings of the programme to date, considers the extent to which the catchment has been transformed across each theme, and whether it might be possible to achieve “Good Ecological Status” in a highly developed urban river.
