Ladle & J.S. Welton Project leader: M. Ladle Report date: August 1992 Report to: North Dorset DistrictCouncil IFE report ref: RL/T11053c5/4 TFS project no: T11053c5 This is an unpublishedreport and shouldnot be cited withoutpermission, which should be soughtthroughthe Directorof the Instituteof FreshwaterEcology in the first instance. The Institute of Freshwater Ecology is part of the Terrestrial and Freshwater Sciences Directorateof the Natural EnvironmentResearchCouncil. CONCLUSIONS In 1992 (as in 1989 and 1991) TEKNAR HP-D (Bti) was found to be an effective simuliicide when used against the larvae of Simuliwn posticatum under the conditions prevailing in the River Stour. Laboratory tests using larvae of Sitnulium posticaturn showed that the approved concentration (0.8 ppm for ten minutes) of Bri (used in the preceding year's trials) was still effective but that a lesser concentration (0.4 ppm for ten minutes) substantially reduced mortality (77%) showing that the permitted dose is approaching the lowest effective concentration. Following preliminary surveys, six sites on the main river were selected for treatment and the furthest upstream (Blandford) and the penultimate downstream (Wimborne) of these were used for monitoring the effects of treatment. Current meter measurements were used to calculate discharges and to permit suitable dilutions of Bti to be achieved.

  • 6. Stour Catchment Case Studies
    6. Stour Catchment Case Studies 6.1. Imagery depicting the physical and environmental characteristics of the River Stour from source to sea – its fluvial processes and observable changes over time Introduction The River Stour, and its wider catchment, extends from Wiltshire, through Dorset, to drain into the English Channel, encompassing a total geographical area of some 1,240 square kilometres. The river flows through a widely varying landscape, which has been determined by the underlying geology which comprises mainly chalk, limestone, clay or mixed sands and gravels. This varied landscape, which is characterized within the catchment by elevated chalk downs, limestone ridges, and low-lying clay valleys, is designated in part as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Along its course, from source to sea, the Stour is swollen in size by numerous tributaries as it follows a southern then south- easterly course, from south of Stourhead to Christchurch Harbour. From the north-east side, the Stour is fed by the Shreen Water, the River Lodden, the Iwerne, the Tarrant, the Allen, and the Moors River. From the west and south-west, its tributaries include the Cale, the Lydden, the Divelish, and the River Winterbourne. Between the high chalk downs can be found wide vales and floodplains, such as the Blackmore Vale, which is bounded on its eastern side by Cranborne Chase, to the north from above Gillingham and extending toward Sherborne to the west.
