The purpose of the Practical Restoration Handbook (PRH) is very simple. It is to stop everybody having to re-invent the wheel(barrow).

For 30 years Waterway Recovery Group (WRG) has existed to co-ordinate the efforts of volunteers in inland waterway restoration. WRG has always produced factsheets on the practical aspects of waterway restoration and similarly the IWA's Restoration Committee (ResCom) produced Information Notes on the more technical aspects of waterway restoration. Production of these Fact Sheets and Notes proceeded slowly and was piecemeal because of the need to depend on the goodwill of the volunteers and availability of expert members to prepare them.
