Abstract
The landscape problems encountered at Rutland Water were: 1) the reconciliation of the reservoir and its works with the rural surroundings; 2) siting and treatment of all ancillary works; 3) mitigation of exposure of shore by draw-down; 4) the provision of opportunities for recreation without damage to the environment; and 5) conservation of nature. The means adopted were: 1) forward planning; 2) consultation and cooperation with all interests concerned; 3) extensive planting of native species and of ground shaping; and 4) arrangements for appropriate maintenance.
