The document is the fourth in a series of reports produced on an annua! basis when all available data for the year has been archived. The principal purpose of the report is to increase the awareness of the hydrometry within the South West Region through listing the current and historic hydrometric networks, key hydrometric staff contacts, what data is available and the reporting options available to users. If you have any comments regarding the content or format of this report then please direct these to the Regional Hydrometric Section at Exeter.

  • Hydrochemical Studies in Swildon's Hole, Priddy, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2007, 24 (2), 121-175 HYDROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SWILDON’S HOLE, PRIDDY, SOMERSET By R.D. STENNER, D. COOKE, K. GLENTON, A.V. KNIGHTS, M. MacDONALD, F.L. STENNER, L. WILLIAMS, and J. WILLIAMS ABSTRACT A detailed and comprehensive study was made of the hydrochemical properties of the streams flowing through Swildon’s Hole in 1999 and 2000 with additional data being collected in 2002 to permit the inclusion of data from a “normal” dry summer. Measurements were made and water samples were collected in the cave and from the surface streams feeding it. The aim was to measure the concentrations of all ionic species present in the samples in significant levels (accuracy and precision being checked by calculating ion balances). For each sampling trip in the cave it was possible to calculate progressive increments of total hardness and discharge as the stream flowed through the cave. These increments took place as water from the various stream inlets joined the Main Stream. Seasonal changes were assessed in the characteristics of many of the “drip and trickle” inlets. Although many properties showed low variability, data for aggressiveness were particularly instructive. In most inlets beyond Rolling Thunder, pronounced seasonal changes of aggressiveness were found. These changes were consistent with independent observations concerning levels of carbon dioxide in the air in the cave. In addition, all of the inlets beyond Rolling Thunder are contaminated with nitrate, chloride, sodium and potassium, strongly indicating the presence of contamination by human or animal waste. At the six inlets beyond Rolling Thunder as far as Sump I, the presence of faecal bacteria was confirmed.

We do hope that you had a safe journey without too many hold-ups and that our directions were easy to follow? You’re probably in need of a rest so once you’re set up with a drink in your hand, put your feet up and take a little time to read on. A little background: Petruth Paddocks was named after Jules’s parents - Peter and Ruth and we opened the livery yard you can see as you enter the gate in early 2002 Some of you may well have stayed at Church Farm many years ago – well it was Roger Durston (who used to own Church farm) who suggested that our field would be an ideal location for people to stay and in 2003 we welcomed our first guests. Since then Petruth Paddocks has become the alternative venue for those seeking freedom from unnecessary regulations – a place where you, your friends and family can enjoy whatever outdoor life means to you – whatever your age, whoever you are, we simply ask that you respect those around you – why not say hello and understand what outdoor life means to them? We’re always looking for ways to improve the Paddocks without losing the “festival feel” of the place so let us know of any suggestions you may have for improvements that would add to your enjoyment.

The AONB Partnership has demonstrated that despite local authority funding cuts and diffi culties to sign up to long term funding agreements all the local authority partners have been able to commit suffi cient resources to enable the Partnerships staff team to deliver a wide range of functions and projects locally and to be an effective member of the National Association of AONBs. Richard Benyon MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Natural Environment and Fisheries has recognised the fundamental role of AONB Partnerships in meeting environmental objectives and delivering Big Society.
