The example below show a catchment report summary for the Eden and estuary catchment.  The summary includes statistics for randomly selected River Habitat Survey sites on the catchment. In this case, there are 95 sites that were used to produce the statistics. It shows that the catchment is dominated by improved grassland and woodland land uses, and that 46% of the sites are semi-natural. Poaching occurs at 36% of all sites showing potential impacts from hill farming and cattle on river habitats. A majority of the sites had good water quality and few were impacted by pollution or physical modifications.
