  • Groundwater in Jurassic Carbonates
    Groundwater in Jurassic carbonates Field Excursion to the Lincolnshire Limestone: Karst development, source protection and landscape history 25 June 2015 Tim Atkinson (University College London) with contributions from Andrew Farrant (British Geological Survey) Introduction 1 The Lincolnshire Limestone is an important regional aquifer. Pumping stations at Bourne and other locations along the eastern edge of the Fens supply water to a large population in South Lincolnshire. Karst permeability development and rapid groundwater flow raise issues of groundwater source protection, one of themes of this excursion. A second theme concerns the influence of landscape development on the present hydrogeology. Glacial erosion during the Middle Pleistocene re-oriented river patterns and changed the aquifer’s boundary conditions. Some elements of the modern groundwater flow pattern may be controlled by karstic permeability inherited from pre-glacial conditions, whereas other flow directions are a response to the aquifer’s current boundary conditions. Extremely high permeability is an important feature in part of the confined zone of the present-day aquifer and the processes that may have produced this are a third theme of the excursion. The sites to be visited will demonstrate the rapid groundwater flow paths that have been proved by water tracing, whereas the topography and landscape history will be illustrated by views during a circular tour from the aquifer outcrop to the edge of the Fenland basin and back. Quarry exposures will be used to show the karstification of the limestone, both at outcrop and beneath a cover of mudrock. Geology and Topography The Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire Limestone attains 30 m thickness in the area between Colsterworth and Bourne and dips very gently eastwards.

Our reconnaissance groups could not agree which was the best east to arrive at a finger post on the roadside at gap in hedge. Cross over the route into Stamford and therefore we decided to publish both routes, one via road to another finger post to continue direction down to the field bottom, Ryhall and Belmsthorpe and the other direct to Stamford from Tolethorpe. then up the slope to pass dilapidated farm buildings left, shown on map as Whichever route you choose it will be a fitting end to a magnificent School Farm.

  • Welland Water Transfer
    Welland Water Transfer A presentation to local councils and groups that may be affected by a proposal made by Ken Otter, the flood warden at Tallington. First presented December 16th 2020 Welland Water Transfer This presentation is in 3 parts. 1. The current position 2. The present situation 3. The latest proposal Thank you for attending. There will be an opportunity for questions after each part but if you need clarification please ask. Welland Water Transfer 1. The current position As we know, our local reservoir is Rutland Water. It is owned by Anglian Water and filled with water abstracted from local rivers under license (and at a cost) from the Environment Agency; the navigation authority for the Stamford to Folly River section of the Welland that we are concerned with. Welland Water Transfer To create the reservoir, the River Gwash was dammed up and it took about 3 years to fill. The River Gwash does help keep it topped up, but 95% of its water actually comes by pumping it in pipes from the River Welland and the River Nene. The map following is the area that affects us. Rutland Water to the Folly River The blue area covers the parish councils alongside the output from the reservoir. The southern edge is also the subject of the Langdyke Trust’s involvement with the John Clare Countryside project. The Folly River is in the bottom right corner. Welland Water Transfer What you see isn’t necessarily what you think! The River Welland here is a managed river. None of the flow is natural from Stamford.

  • The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan
    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland. (©Dave Hitchborne and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Licence) 1: Trinity Bridge at While many of these changes have been beneficial, such as the creation of water meadows which were an important feature of the English countryside, others have had unintended side effects. For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

    National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and knowledge. We will aim to refresh and update them periodically as new 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra information becomes available to us.

December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the River Welland Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the River Welland catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The River Welland CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England of the tidal River Welland between Spalding and Fosdyke and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland Bridge. This could cause flooding to large parts of flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first Spalding. Breaching/failure of embankments that carry time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, the main upland rivers across the fenland area of the from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal catchment could cause significant flood risk.
