This booklet analyses Rivers of the Isle of Wight. the Isle of Wight is the largest Island off the English coast. It is separated from Hampshire by the Solent and bounded by the English Channel on its south side. Evidence suggests that the first settlers, the New Stone Age communities, arrived on the Island sometime after 4,000 BC. As the population expanded large areas of woodland were cleared for agriculture and by the Middle Ages the Island had become a mixed agricultural landscape. This document contains sections on: rivers; Medina; Eastern Yar; Western Yar; water resources; water quality; conservation; fisheries; recreation; flood defence and river naintenance; pollution prevention from waste.
