Monthly Water Situation Report Yorkshire Area Monthly water situation report Yorkshire Area Summary – July 2019 Another unsettled month containing some very heavy, localised storms towards the end of the month. Above average monthly rainfall totals were recorded across Yorkshire. Normal or higher river flows in the Pennine catchments and below normal river flows in the groundwater fed catchments. The soils were wet in the western areas and drier to the east, groundwater levels continued to decrease, and overall reservoir stocks were above the long term average. Rainfall An unsettled month ensured July was very wet across Yorkshire although the second half of the month was considerably wetter, recording 74% to 96% of the total recorded rainfall. The high totals were caused by successions of storm fronts passing through the county, with some producing highly localised, very heavy downpours at the end of the month. Two particularly wet periods occurred between: the 19th July to the 23rd July where 17% to 45% of the month’s total rain fell in localised areas. Significant daily totals occurred on the 19th, 21st, and the 23rd. the 26th July to the 31st July where 37% to 77% of the month’s total rain fell in localised areas. Significant daily totals occurred on the 27th, 28th, and especially on the 30th and 31st. South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire experienced some intense storm over the weekend of the 27th and 28th July. Localised areas around Sheffield recorded 80% to 110% of the monthly long term average (LTA) on Saturday while some locations in the upper Calder catchment recorded 70% to 105% of the monthly LTA on Sunday. Then on Tuesday 30th, Malham Tarn in the upper Aire recorded 85% of its monthly LTA in 12 hours, with a very intense storm hitting the upper Swale catchment. Arkle Town raingauge recorded virtually all of its monthly LTA rain in 1 hour and almost 150% of its monthly LTA in 6 hours. The daily total at Arkle Town raingauge was a little over 100mm, or 158% of its monthly LTA. All catchments received above the LTA monthly rainfall, with the Don and Calder catchments recording around twice the LTA. Soil Moisture Deficit (SMD) Rising SMD occurred through the first half of the month in response to the relatively dry weather. By mid-July, central and eastern Yorkshire was classed as being dry with the rest of the Area being classed as normal. Once the unsettled weather arrived, the SMD started to decline. By the end of the month, the western most Pennine ridge had returned to a wet classification, the north-eastern and southern edges were normal, and central and eastern areas were still within the dry classification. River Flows Within the Pennine fed catchments, river flows declined steadily until the 18th July and the majority of catchments were starting to show flows that were classed as below normal for the time of year. The ensuing rainfall had an immediate impact within the rivers and produced numerous high flow peaks. The end of the month had daily mean flows well above what would normally be expected for the time of year. The upper Swale recorded a significant peak on the 30th July in response to a very intense storm. The fluvial gauge at Reeth, located on Arkle Beck, rose by 1.6m in 1.5 hours and also recorded its highest level from a 21 year record. However, the level was truncated, possibly reaching the bank top and overflowing into the All data are provisional and may be subject to revision.

Levels on the main River Swale recorded peaks that were lower than the peak level reached in March 2019 although still showed notable rates of rise. Grinton Bridge, on the River Swale immediately downstream of Reeth, rose by 2m in 2 hours while Catterick Bridge, further downstream, rose by 1.8m in 30 minutes. With regards to the monthly mean flow, the Pennine catchments were classed as having normal flows for the time of year or were higher. In the groundwater dominated catchments in the east, declining flows were common. The River Derwent was experiencing below normal river flows at the beginning of July and they slowly declining to notably low flows by the 18th. The flow remained low until the very end of the month before there were signs of rising up into the normal range expected for the time of year. The monthly mean flow for the River Derwent was classed as being notably low for the time of year. Within the upper River Hull, as monitored at Wansford Snakeholm Lock, the flow slowly declined throughout the month and was classed as being below normal until the very last day, which saw an increase into the normal range expected for the time of year. The watercourses of Mires Beck and the River Foulness that flow directly into the Humber Estuary declined steadily, below what would normally be expected for the time of year, until the 18th July before fluctuating in response to the rainfall. Groundwater Levels Magnesian Limestone The groundwater level at Brick House Farm continued to fall below the drought trigger level for the time of year. Millstone Grit The groundwater level at Hill Top Farm was at average levels for the time of year. Sherwood Sandstone The groundwater level in the north of the Sherwood Sandstone had fallen to average or slightly above the average for the time of year. The level in the south of the aquifer as measured at Pincheon Green was below average for the time of year. Corallian Limestone The groundwater levels at Sproxton & East Ness had decreased, remaining close to drought trigger levels. Chalk The groundwater level in the northern area of the aquifer, as monitored at Wetwang, had continued to decrease and was at the drought trigger level for the time of year. At Dalton Estate in the south of the aquifer the groundwater level had decreased to well below average for the time of year. Reservoir Storage The overall reservoir stocks decreased by 5% during the first half of the month although were still above the LTA. They then increased back up by 7% in response to the very wet weather during the second half of the month. Environmental Impact There were 7 abstraction licences that had Hands off Flow (HOF) in force within the Derwent catchment. An additional 124 abstractors were on advance warning notifications although they were still able to abstract. Author: Yorkshire Hydrology All data are provisional and may be subject to revision.

  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • Lichen Flora of the Malham Tarn Area
    Field Studies, 10, (2001) 57 - 92 LICHEN FLORA OF THE MALHAM TARN AREA M. R. D. SEAWARD Department of Environmental Science, University of Bradford, Bradford BD7 1DP AND A. PENTECOST Division of Life Sciences, King's College London, Franklin-Wilkins Building, 150 Stamford Street, London SE1 8WA ABSTRACT A checklist of lichens, lichenicolous fungi and associated fungi recorded from an area within 5 km of the Malham Tarn Field Centre, Yorkshire is accompanied by background information on the ecology and the history of recording there. In all, 346 taxa (including Lecidea obluridata Nyl., new to Britain) have been recorded from the area; 48 are based on old records, most of which are presumed extinct, but some are questionable in the absence of supporting herbarium material. COLLECTORS The earliest lichen records from Malham are attributable to Richard Richardson (1663- 1741) of North Bierley, the first Yorkshireman to collect lichens; his localised material, used by Johann Jacob Dillenius (1684-1747) for his revision of Ray's Synopsis (1724) and his own Historia Muscorum (1742), is to be found in the Dillenian and Sherardian Herbaria at Oxford University (OXF). Other botanists contributing to our knowledge of Malham lichens in the 18th and 19th centuries include John G. Baker (1834-1920), William Borrer (1781-1862), Benjamin Carrington (1827-1893), Samuel Hailstone (1768-1851), Thomas Hebden (1849-1931), William Hudson (1734-1793), Frederic A. Lees (1847-1921), John Nowell (1802-1867), Abraham Shackleton (1830-1916), Abraham Stansfield (1802-1880), William West (1848- 1914) and John Windsor (1787-1868). Hailstone's Malham records appear in Whitaker (1805), but many are unlocalised, being expressed as occurring in 'the Craven area'.

  • The Impact of Historical Metal Mining on the River Swale Catchment, North Yorkshire, U.K
    THE IMPACT OF HISTORICAL METAL MINING ON THE RIVER SWALE CATCHMENT, NORTH YORKSHIRE, U.K. IAN DENNIS UNIVERSITY OF WALES, ABERYSTWYTH JULY 2005 Abstract ABSTRACT This investigation examines the impact of historical metal mining on the River Swale catchment, North Yorkshire, U.K. Approximately 550,000 tonnes of Pb were extracted from mines in the Swale catchment during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Mining and processing operations were relatively inefficient, leading to the discharge of large quantities of metal-rich sediment into the fluvial system. The primary aim of this thesis is to assess the physical and chemical impacts of the discharge of metals from historical mining activities on the River Swale catchment as a whole. The dispersal, storage and transfer of metal-rich sediment in formerly mined tributaries, floodplain and flood sediments are evaluated, and the environmental consequences of mining are assessed. A detailed geochemical survey of the River Swale catchment indicates that channel and floodplain sediments within formerly mined tributaries exhibit extremely high concentrations of Pb, Zn and Cd. Similar enrichment is observed in floodplain sediments from throughout the catchment, suggesting that large volumes of material have been transported from the tributaries and deposited on the Swale floodplain. Evidence from contemporary flood sediments suggests that considerable quantities of metal-rich sediment continue to be cycled through the system almost 100 years after the cessation of mining operations. Sediment budgeting suggests that 32,000 tonnes of Pb remain stored in formerly mined tributaries, with a further 123,000 tonnes stored in the Swale floodplain. Combined storage represents more than half of the total Pb that is likely to have been released during mining operations, suggesting that the impacts of metal mining are extremely long-lasting.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
