Publication Date: 15 June 2007

During the 1980s IWA Restoration Committee began to publish a series of Information Notes on various subjects relevant to waterway restoration. Their purpose was to provide guidance and to prevent waterway groups wasting time and effort acquiring the basic information on an individual basis. Following a Government grant and three years of development, the Technical Restoration Handbook was completed, comprising 19 chapters on various topics.

The authors of the chapters come from a range of organisations and from professional and experienced people within IWA membership. Every chapter has been reviewed by at least two reviewers and amendments were made in the light of the comments provided. Further input and comment has been derived from the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) and Restoration Committee seminars. Every care has been taken in the compilation and checking of the information contained in the handbooks. However, the Association cannot accept any liability for the accuracy of the statements in the Handbook or omissions there from and readers are recommended to seek professional advice on specific proposals or problems.
