December 2010 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the River Trent Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the River Trent catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The River Trent CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England properties (both residential and commercial) and and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed 45,473 people at risk in the catchment in a 1% inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for flood event. However, it is expected that both of these the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland figures could rise quite significantly within the next flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface water 50 to 100 years by which point some 62,027 properties and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from the and 134,206 people could be affected by flooding in a sea (coastal flooding), which is covered by Shoreline 1% event.

    Advisory Visit Rivers Meden and Maun, Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire January 2018 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Rivers Meden and Maun on the Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire on 4th January, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Andrew Dobson (River Warden, Thoresby Estate) and Ryan Taylor (Environment Agency). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Meden rises to the north of Mansfield and flows east-north- eastwards through a largely rural catchment. The River Maun rises in the conurbation of Mansfield and flows north-eastwards past Ollerton to join the River Meden at Conjure Alders (SK6589872033). The rivers then separate again and re-join approximately 6km downstream near West Drayton (SK7027875118) to form the River Idle (a Trent tributary with its confluence at West Stockwith SK7896894718). Both rivers flow over a geology comprising sandstone with underlying coal measures and there is a history of extensive deep coal mining in the area. Table 1 gives a summary of data collected by the Environment Agency to assess the quality of the rivers for the Water Framework Directive. Both rivers appear to have a similar ecological quality and closer inspection of the categories which make up this assessment reveal that fish and invertebrates were both ‘high’ and ‘good’ for the Meden and Maun respectively in 2016.

    Sow and Penk Internal Drainage Board (IDB) BAP area monitoring River Sow floodplain ©Matt Jones Baseline monitoring February 2016 Introduction The IDB has a direct capacity to exercise control over a number of watercourses within the Sow and Penk area (see Map 1), it is therefore of principal importance to suitably monitor the effect of work carried out on IDB maintained watercourses to assess its impact on the biodiversity of the wider riparian environment. To effectively monitor ecological systems in order to develop and deliver beneficial policies and practices, baseline data must be gathered to provide a benchmark to measure fluctuations in habitats or species populations over time (OECD, 2001), particularly in relation to appropriate habitat management and reducing biodiversity loss. Staffordshire Wildlife Trust has been commissioned to monitor the extent of Water vole Arvicola amphibious and Flowering-rush Butomus umbellatus to help the IDB fulfil its duty conserve biodiversity. Current baseline data A desktop study was carried out using Staffordshire Ecological Records (SER) ecological records database to output all existing records of Flowering-rush B. umbellatus and European Water Vole A. amphibious within the Sow and Penk IDB Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) area. The current available data originates from a number of sources and surveys, notably records from structured surveys and monitoring including, but not limited to Staffordshire Mammal Group surveys, structured surveys carried out by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and surveys undertaken as part of the data collection for the Flora of Staffordshire (Hawksford, et al., 2011). This data will form a primary baseline from which data collected through future surveys can be compared to monitor populations of A.

If you have a version that does not benefit from these links, a .pdf version can be obtained at http://www.riveraccessforall.co.uk/docs/totally_compelling_evidence.pdf 1 Introduction Opponents of recognition of public rights of navigation in all rivers claim that there were historic limitations on navigation. In particular, they claim that navigation was limited to the tidal sections of rivers, with the exception of a limited and defined listing of the “Great Rivers” (e.g. Thames, Severn and Trent). We suggest, however, “Great Rivers” does not have a precise meaning and effectively means any river capable of navigation; we also believe that there is no historical evidence supporting a distinction between tidal and non-tidal waters. The evidence below shows that, while some of the statutes and Commissions do refer to “Great Rivers”, they related to a diverse number of rivers of varying scale (e.g. the commission of 1415, June 10 ) specifically protected navigation on the River Brant in Lincolnshire under statutes that referred to “Great Rivers”.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for.
