England's River Kemp restored to natural course after 100+ years of straightening
England's River Kemp, which was artificially straightened in the 1800s, has been restored to its original meandering path following an 18-month project. Engineers, conservationists, and farmers collaborated to reconnect the river to its historic route, known as the 'Walcot Wiggle.' The restored waterway now features natural wetlands capable of managing floodwaters more effectively. The revived ecosystem is expected to support a wide range of wildlife, including the endangered freshwater pearl mussel.
