Devon and Cornwall Area Monthly water situation report Devon and Cornwall Area Summary – August 2021 Devon and Cornwall received 56 mm of rainfall in August, which is 66% of the Long Term Average rainfall (LTA) and ‘below normal’ for the time of year. Most catchments received ‘below normal’ rainfall this month. Monthly mean river flows were mostly ‘normal’ for the time of year. Soil moisture deficit increased. Groundwater levels remained healthy overall, and reservoir storage decreased as is normal for this time of year. Rainfall Devon and Cornwall received 56 mm of rainfall in August, which is 66% of the LTA rainfall and ‘below normal’ for the time of year. All rainfall catchments across the area had ‘below normal’ rainfall apart from the Otter, Sid, Axe and Lim catchment, which was ‘normal’ for the time of year. There were rainfall events around 5-9 August and 20-21 August. Rainfall maps and graph Rainfall catchments map Soil Moisture Deficit Soil moisture deficit (SMD) for Devon and Cornwall increased to 50 mm at the end of the month, close to the LTA of 52 mm. At the end of the month, soils were wetter than average for the time of year in the east of the area, and drier than average in the west of the area, reflecting the higher rainfall in the east. SMD graph and map River Flows Monthly mean flows were ‘normal’ for the time of year everywhere except the Otter at Dotton and the Kenwyn at Truro, where flows were ‘above normal’ for the time of year. Daily mean flows generally receded through the month, responding slightly to the rainfall around 7 August and 21 August. At the end of August daily mean flows were nearly all ‘normal’ with only the Hayle at St Erth and the Torridge at Torrington recording ‘below normal’ flows. River flow map and graphs Groundwater Levels The indicator groundwater sites ranged from ‘normal’ to ‘above normal’ for this time of year. Groundwater levels receded very slightly this month, but overall levels remained stable. Please note that there is missing data for Woodbury Common 2 this month. Groundwater map and graphs Reservoir Storage Total reservoir storage decreased from 86% at the end of July to 80% at the end of August. Storage at Wimbleball decreased to 81%, Colliford decreased to 69% and Roadford decreased to 84%. This is as expected at this time of year.

Foreword This study was commissioned by English Nature to identify environmental enhancement opportunities in advance of the production of second generation Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs). This work has therefore helped to raise awareness amongst operating authorities, of biodiversity opportunities linked to the implementation of SMP policies. It is also the intention that taking such an approach will integrate shoreline management with the long term evolution of the coast and help deliver the targets set out in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. In addition, Defra High Level Target 4 for Flood and Coastal Defence on biodiversity requires all operating authorities (coastal local authorities and the Environment Agency), to take account of biodiversity, as detailed below: Target 4 - Biodiversity By when By whom A.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

  • Bellever Audio Walk Transcript
    Bellever Audio Walk Transcript Peter Nash – Presenter Jackie Ridley, Sustainable Tourism Officer, Dartmoor National Park Authority Jane Marchand, Archaeologist, Dartmoor National Park Authority Dru Butterfield, Manager, Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust Track One – Introduction Postbridge Information Centre (Grid reference SX 646 789) Hello and welcome to Dartmoor National Park and this audio walk from Postbridge pretty much in the centre of the park in to Bellever forest, which promises to be a fascinating walk, with a lot of prehistoric remains to be explored. We are starting off at the Information Centre in the Postbridge car park, and as with all Dartmoor National Park Authority audio walks, we have divided this audio tour in to several sections, each one being a separate track for you to download on to your player. That way you can simply switch off when you are walking and then start playing the new track at the next point of interest, and I will give you full directions when to do this on the audio itself. You will also find that the name of each track include the grid reference of where you should be, so that you can follow the tour using a standard Ordnance Survey map, Explorer OL28 for Dartmoor, in this case, or you can download the accompanying map so you have a back up to the instructions on the audio. Today’s walk is a circular one, beginning and ending at the Information Centre, taking us out of Postbridge to the south and in to Bellever forest, and then Krap’s Ring, a large enclosure of hut rings and then onward to Lakehead Hill.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
