  • Modelling the Impact of Groundwater Abstractions on Low River Flows
    FRIEND: Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data (Proceedings of the Braunschweig Conference, October 1993). IAHS Publ. no. 221, 1994. / / Modelling the impact of groundwater abstractions on low river flows BENTE CLAUSEN Department of Earth Sciences, Aarhus University, Ny Munkegade, Denmark ANDREW R. YOUNG & ALAN GUSTARD Institute of Hydrology, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OXW 8BB, UK Abstract A two-dimensional numerical groundwater model was applied to the Lambourn catchment in the UK to predict the impact of ground­ water abstraction on low river flows for a representative Chalk catch­ ment. The calibration of the model using observed streamflow and groundwater data is described. A range of abstraction scenarios was simulated to estimate the impact of long term abstraction on monthly river flows as a function of the abstraction rate, seasonality and location. Relationships between low flow statistics and abstraction regimes were derived by analysing a number of simulated hydrographs. INTRODUCTION This paper evaluates the influence of long term groundwater abstractions on low river flows for different abstraction scenarios and different distances from the river using a two-dimensional numerical groundwater model. The objective of the study was to develop a simple numerical model of a typical Chalk catchment which could be used for a sensitivity analysis of the impact of groundwater pumping on streamflow with respect to abstraction regimes. The study is a contribution to the development of regional procedures for providing simple relationships between groundwater pumping and low flows. The study area is the Lambourn catchment on the Berkshire Downs, UK, which lies on the unconfined Chalk aquifer. The Chalk is the major aquifer in the UK both in areal extent and in the quantity and quality of water extracted from it.

  • RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
    COUNTY: BERKSHIRE/WILTSHIRE SITE NAME: RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Local Planning Authorities: Berkshire County Council, Wiltshire County Council, Newbury District Council, Kennet District COuncil National Grid Reference: SU203692 to SU572667 Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 174 1:10,000: SU26 NW, SU27 SW, SU27 SE, SU37 SW, SU36 NW, SU36 NE, SU47 NW, SU46 NE, SU56 NW, SU56 NE Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1 November 1995 Date of Last Revision: Area: 112.72 ha Other information: The River Lambourn, which is a tributary of the River Kennet, is also an SSSI. There are two existing SSSIs along the River Kennet: Freemans Marsh and Chilton Foliat Meadows. The site boundary is the bank top or, where this is indistinct, the first break of slope. Description and Reasons for Notification The River Kennet has a catchment dominated by chalk with the majority of the river bed being lined by gravels. The Kennet below Newbury traverses Tertiary sands and gravels, London Clay and silt, thus showing a downstream transition from the chalk to a lowland clay river. As well as having a long history of being managed as a chalk stream predominantly for trout, the Kennet has been further modified by the construction of the Kennet and Avon Canal. In some places the canal joins with the river to form a single channel. There are also many carriers and channels formerly associated with water meadow systems. The river flows through substantial undisturbed areas of marshy grassland, wet woodland and reed beds.

  • Thoughts of a New Parish Councillor
    Thoughts of a new Parish Councillor If you are one of the millions of people who watched the newly sainted Jackie Weaver lay down the law, you might be pleasantly surprised if you visit a meeting of Speen Parish Council. I encountered something very different to the infamous Handforth Planning and Environment Committee when I joined the Council about six months ago. Instead of tantrums, I found a group of local volunteers reaching sensible decisions after reasonable debate, with an experienced chair who listens and a hard-working clerk who knows the rules and gives good advice. A team. No drama – just the will to get things done for the residents of Speen Parish in Speen, Bagnor, Stockcross, Woodspeen and Marsh Benham. I hope that doesn’t disappoint you! I read that one consequence of the Handforth Horror Show is ‘hugely increased interest’ in Council meetings so it seems this is a good time to say that the public is welcome at Speen’s monthly Council meetings. I took advantage of this open invitation when I popped along to the virtual ‘Annual Meeting’ last July. Shortly afterwards, I was asked if I would be prepared to be co-opted as a member. The role is immensely worthwhile and, when you care about where you spend your life, very rewarding. If you are reading this and thinking it might be for you, then do get in touch. You might also be asking what does a Parish Council do? The main tasks of the Parish Council are to provide facilities and represent the people of the Parish.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.
