Comment on Abingdon Weir: A personal history by Stephen Roberts ox 14 1hw

As i have found there are some very intresting things about the weir and water they would like to extract,the water measures are in-correct as they were measured at Suttno weir, which is the nearest station to Abingdon, So they have not taken this into account,so the downstream of the weir would be more rather than less as you would have the ock and swift ditch taking more water downstream where as above the weir would be a lot less.
They also say for granting a lease for the land where it is to be put that they must have the the money available to reinstate the weir to how it is in its present state. Another thing you should no is the hydro has to be angled to the left as going straight would distroy the reed beds where fish go to teke refuge when the weir is at its max,As you are aware you do not have proper white water until later in the year is great fun for you , but what would also happen is a clash of water with one against the other i can only asume the balance to the currants would create a distorted under flow distroying spawning grounds ,other things would be the stream would get silted up even more as the flow would be taken away by the screws,Some thing to think about , i thought i was the only person in Abingdon that cared,when you mention it to people they do not even no about it. just one other thing for now if you read what good it will do its been dressed in such away that confusses people, Any how its not in gov plans to use this sort of thing as there is a solar field being built which will generate euroups power midway 2050,it is thought that some contries will have it by 2020 .if you need info i have some alomg with the applications. ref nps/wr/005499.
