Lathkill Dale Hydromorphological Appraisal of the Use of Large Woody Debris in the Restoration of the River Lathkill, Derbyshire John M. E. Cowx & Ian B. Drew Adapted from Gordon et al., 2004 Focus on Hydromorphology – but recognising the link with ecology Raven et al., (2002) - the importance of the physical (hydromorphological) dimension as a supporting element in the ecological restoration of rivers is profound. Chessman et al., (2006) indicate that rehabilitation of geomorphic condition can be critical for the improving the biodiversity. Clarke et al., (2002) argues that both morphological and ecological components of a river system are inherently linked and that ecological goals can only be achieved through geomorphic improvements. Successful river restoration can only be achieved by a multidisciplinary approach, fully understanding ecological, hydrological and geomorphological process and form Lathkill Dale 1 of 5 valleys comprising the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve managed by Natural England Historical channel modification by human intervention 18th and 19th century lead mining was associated with channelisation and the excavation of drainage soughs. Diagrammatic profile through the edge of the Derbyshire plateau, showing a sough cut to drain the limestone for deeper mining access (Ford and Rieuwerts, 2007). Note: contrary to this diagram the sough at Lathkill Dale was driven in below the level of the river. The drainage provided by the sough combined with the permeable limestone geology has causes surface flow to dry up in summer months. Environment Agency daily discharge data for the River Lathkill (1997-2009) (data provided courtesy of Professor John Gunn). The River Lathkill indicating the perennial and intermittent springs. The reach of the river in which this study was conducted is highlighted in red (adapted from Wood et al., 2005). In the Victorian era the river channel was straightened, clay lined and controlled by weirs in order to establish good conditions for trout fishing. Natural England & Wildlife Trust Restoration began in 2003 by removing the grasses and reeds which occupied the river and by digging a narrower channel through the otherwise flat topography of the river bed. In 2006 the topography of the river bed was still relatively even and bed material uniformly distributed. 5 LWD structures of various design, stabilised and anchored with timber stakes and wire, were installed in 2008 There are five anchored wooden structures in this reach all of which are comprised of locally sourced sycamore and elm. The Lathkill site characteristics offered a unique opportunity to study & sample the river bed around LWD in detail The Project The aim of the research was to undertake a post project analysis in order to evaluate the success of LWD in creating a hydromorphologically diverse river channel with a view to identifying its potential impact on the ecology of the stream. To identify the hydromorpholoical characteristics of the river, a programme of detailed field mapping was undertaken. Spring 2010: Flow direction & velocity was measured at up to 14 points across 41 cross-sections in the 30m reach. Readings were all taken at a height above the bed equivalent to 0.6 of the water depth. Spring 2010: River bed elevation was determined along the 14 cross sections to produce a topographic map of the river bed Summer 2010: bed material around the woody debris was mapped and sampled for analysis. Initially visual characterisation of the bed material size was used to identify bed units. These were mapped and sampled. From each bed unit a sample was taken up to a trowels depth (approximately 15cm). There was no division into surface and subsurface samples. Trowel sampling was chosen rather than an infield grid pebble count grid technique because it was thought a sub-surface sampling of the river bed would be more representative rather than just a surface sample (Rice and Haschenburger, 2004). The samples were subsequently analysed in the lab using standard techniques: dry sieving of the whole sample, followed by axis measurements and sediment shape and angularity analysis for the coarsest fraction. Flow Patterns - 17th of June 2010 Mapping confirms that the LWD structures are having an influence on flow patterns and shows precisely how direction and magnitude are modified. At the entrance to the reach the channel plan form and flow is relatively uniform in direction but with the line of fastest flow towards the left hand bank. Subsequently the first LWD structure seems to have a minor influence in deflecting flow, while further downstream the effects are more marked demonstrating how the course of the thalweg can be manipulated. This will consequently influence the plan form of the channel which has been made less uniform in the LWD reach with bank erosion has occurring where water flow velocity is increased and deflected towards the channel side. Flow has also forced its way round stream side structures resulting in additional areas of bank erosion – only the first side structure built well into the bank has avoided this. Flow is generally slowed down behind the LWD where in some case areas of still water or reversed flow have been created. Bed Topography Summer 2010 The contours shown depth BELOW bank height. They identify areas of deeper channel which indicates scouring is taking place, particularly beside channel side LWD structures and in front of the mid channel structures and generally reflecting the new line of fastest flow (as indicated previously). In future the scour could result in undercutting of the structures which would result in greater uncertainty in regards to the nature of longer term channel changes. Bed elevation is generally higher downstream of the structures as a consequence of deposition associated with the lower flow velocities. The patterns of bed topography seem to increase in asymmetry when associated with LWD set at an angle to the flow rather than perpendicular to it – the middle structure showing the most symmetrical pattern. Bed Material Size Distribution The map suggests that the bed material size distribution reflects the increased complexity of flow once the LWD reach is entered. Before the first structure the pattern of bed material distribution is more uniform. Once the reach is entered finer sediments are generally located downstream of LWD structures which also correspond with shallower areas of channel and areas of low/no flow. Bed units over 4 mm in composition share general patterns being generally located in the areas of fastest velocity seen in figure 4 associated with deeper sections of the river. Roundness index numbers were relatively low probably due to the discontinuous flow. Sample 25 contained high levels of clay in a scour zone, this could represent the Victorian channel lining efforts. The tufa deposits are calcareous precipitates which can cement materials river bed materials; their position could indicate incision of the channel into a older bed. Unfortunately plans to undertake further study of flow around the LWS at different river stages during winter 2011 were not possible due to a delay in flow becoming re-established. Success in meeting objectives of hydromorphological diversity Creating pool habitats - Enhanced scour has created deeper areas directly in front of and beside the LWD structures. Promote riffle and bar formation through induced sediment deposition - Sediment deposition is evident in areas of the riverbed with lower flow and located directly downstream of LWD structures. These shallow areas were identified as having potential for riffle and bar formation. Diversion of flow – has resulted in some evidence of plan form variation from the straight cut section. In summary it is clear that geomorphic thresholds for sediment transportation, erosion and deposition vary throughout the channel as a result of the diverse hydraulic conditions promoted by the LWD. Implications for Habitats The material of the riverbed has been highlighted as being fundamental to the aquatic habitat of invertebrates and fish (Robert 2003).

  • Rivers Bradford and Lathkill
    Rivers Bradford and Lathkill Introduction The Rivers Bradford and Lathkill in the Peak District are very important for people and wildlife and therefore need to be protected and enhanced for current and future generations. Although the rivers both provide good habitat and have good water quality they do suffer from low flows at certain times of the year and significant reaches dried up during the summer of 2011. Whilst parts of the bed of the Lathkill dry up every year the Bradford is effected much less frequently. In terms of rainfall 2011 was one of the driest years on record for the Midlands. This lead to the Environment Agency undertaking fish rescues on the River Lathkill during the summer, whilst this is an annual occurrence it happened earlier in the year than normal. A similar rescue was undertaken by the Haddon Estate on the River Bradford. On 7th November 2011, we spoke to the local community, at a public meeting hosted by Youlgreave residents about the issues facing the rivers in times of low rainfall and what may be the causes of the rivers drying up; the meeting was attended by approximately 100 people. We have been examining the data and evidence around the drying of the rivers and have considered rainfall data, groundwater levels, licensed water abstraction in the area, the local geology and historical mine drainage systems as contributory factors that have caused the rivers to dry up. Historical Evidence The River Bradford has dried up on previous occasions the most recent event prior to 2011 was 1996, which correlated with the rainfall data for this year which is the ninth driest on record for the Derwent Catchment.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
