Water Meadows in Dorset, UK: In 1998, Air Photo Services Ltd and Southern Archaeological Services Ltd devised a detailed methodology to quantify and classify the extent and condition of water meadows from aerial photographs, documents and field survey. This facilitated statistical analysis of the environmental and archaeological importance of water meadows for the UK Environment Agency.
This survey was the first of its kind. It provided management data to the UK Environment Agency to help select and protect water meadows which are environmentally significant and balance their preservation against the requirement for water management, agriculture and planning decisions in advance of development.
