The proposal is an experimental hydrology testing device which aims to conserve Oxford’s precious flood meadows and demonstrate their importance. The ancient plough-scarred meadows are augmented into a grid of plots bounded by water channeling apparatus. This can be used to test artificial flooding and its implications on architecture and the local ecology. The scheme serves as a research and education hub where studies are done in collaboration with the natural cycles of the landscape. The findings and the tests themselves are used to bring Oxford's scientific and local communities together.
