10
9 Four year effect of Grip blocking Goyt – grip blocked and infilling with vegetation naturally Outcome – reduced amplitude of water table, water table closer to surface, so blanket bog condition will be wetter and more consistently wet with fewer drying periods. 2006 2008 2009
11
10 Effect of Grip blocking on the water table High amplitude and low water table in unblocked grips Much reduced amplitude and higher water table after blocking (pre-dated equipment installation – settling period needed first)
