 Barton Broad - Broads Authority
Like all the broads connected to the rivers, by the 1970s Barton was severely affected by decades of nutrient enrichment with nitrates and phosphates, from water running off agricultural land and from the two local sewage treatment works.
The algae, growing unchecked in the nutrient-rich water, shaded out the other water plants, and at the start of the Clear Water 2000 project, the broad appeared murky and lifeless, with a thick layer of mud on the bottom, which restricted boating to the central navigation channel.
Since it was set up in 1978, the Broads Authority and its partner agencies such as the Environment Agency have funded and carried out extensive research to work out how to restore the Broads waterways.

Dorothy Barton had been mixing bread, and was wiping her white arms and hands on the roller towel by the kitchen door, as her father stamped and scraped his feet on the stones outside.
One day in early June, Friend Barton's flock of sheep (consisting of nine experienced ewes, six yearlings, and a sprinkling of close-curled lambs whose legs had not yet come into mature relations with their bodies) was gathered in a wattled inclosure, beside the stream that flowed into the mill-head.
