So is Damming and Zippering a technique which induces the holding back of water in the bog? It can be carried out on a long drain which was already there? A man made drain cut out during a time of less ecological awareness. Great work and video
Yes it can be carried out on long drains, and it will allow the natural water pathway to be reinstated, through the upper margins of the peatland and the vegetation. It should also allow the peatland to hold onto the saturated water held in deeper peat levels.
