Book excerpt: This book brings to public attention some of the most evocative and threatened features of the landscape of southern England. Water meadows work with nature to improve agricultural productivity, whilst providing rich habitats for wildlife such as water voles, waders and grass snakes. They are areas of low-lying grassland which are regularly 'drowned' - artificially irrigated - at certain times of the year, to stimulate the early growth of grass in the spring. Only a few remain in operation today, though they played a crucial role in Britains past farming economy. Their archaeological remains can be found all over southern England, with Hampshire and Wiltshire having perhaps the best surviving examples. In this book leading archaeologists and scientists - together with one of the last practising 'drowners' - explore the ecology and history of water meadows. They ask when and where the art of floating originated, and explain its hydrology. They also investigate water meadows conservation status and potential for the future.

Book excerpt: We know a great deal about water meadows. However, the research behind this book has revealed an interesting facet of this knowledge. A good deal of what has been written about the biodiversity and other aspects of water meadows in the past, and which passes onwards as received wisdom, may not be true. In tracking down authoritative work upon which to base this new synthesis and appreciation, it became apparent that much historic reference to water meadows has been a simple extrapolation of what some authors know of other types of wet meadow. Yet water meadows are a quite distinct habitat type with characteristic biota and clear economic objectives, to which no safe generalisation can be made from other forms of wet grassland.
