  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

  • Tales from the Riverbank
    T ALES FROM THE RIVERBANK March/April 2014 So we find ourselves waking up in the middle of Glencoe as the snow was falling all around, very odd really considering that the previous day we were sunbathing as we bimbled down the Keswick Greta. Anyway I digress, there were three of us; me, Fish and the Stig who set out on a Friday morning to drive up to sweatysockland and have a pootle down the Etive, with the initial plan to have the compulsory photo shoot as you run Right Angle Falls. En-route to Jockland we stopped off at Keswick with Tony Morgan to spend a tropical sunny day running the Keswick Greta and enjoying the views, as usual we had an argument mid-flow - this one coming from Fish who was adamant that the Customs and Excise Office of her Majesty's Government are now training bees to sniff out drugs in airport terminals. There's an elite group of 6 specially trained bees, kept in a match box, that swoop in on suitcases, alerting the authorities to any heroin smuggling. This argument lasted a good five minutes (with Fish, like a parrot shouting, "Google it! Google it! I'm telling you, Google it! - he should be on BBC’s Question time) and ended with Fish sulking after jibes about the future not being in Garlic bread but investing in guide bees, Police bees and sheep bees etc... The possibilities are endless... Page 2 March/April 2014 Anyway, he sulked for 5 minutes before I talked him around, about the way that they're now making spaghetti by extracting it from the centre of macaroni, therefore avoiding less wasted pasta! He was amazed.

  • Newsletter March Website
    T ALES FROM THE RIVERBANK March/April 2015 TriBoat TriLake BiRiver Photo contributions from Jeff Carr and other club members In 2012 I completed my first sponsored Dryathlon for Cancer Research. I’d chosen a Cancer Research challenge in memory of my dad. In 2015, I felt I should add more to the challenge, so what about a sponsored paddle? I love the Rothay and the Leven and if I could link up those two favourite rivers it would be fantastic. The only problem is that between the two rivers is the 18.5km length of Lake Windermere, and that’s best tackled in a sea kayak. I really don’t do long pointy boats! I’d never paddled more than a few hundred metres in one so 18.5km would be a step up! Despite that, I liked the route. I wouldn’t have to leave the water from start to finish. I could complete the journey using three different types of craft: canoe for the 7km of the Rothay, Lake Grasmere and Rydal Water, sea kayak for Windermere, and finally a kayak for the 3.5km of the Leven from the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge to Low Wood. That would be a 30km trip, using three different craft, on three lakes and two rivers, all in one day. Could I really pull that off? Page 2 March/April 2015 I started looking at the logistics: the weather, river levels, the daylight and shuttles. To have a good run on the Rothay the river level needs to be above 0.7m on the gauge at Miller Bridge House.

  • Whitewater Park Design Principles: an Integrated Approach for Multiple User Groups
    Whitewater Park Design Principles: An Integrated Approach for Multiple User Groups by Byron Lester A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Byron Lester, May, 2012 ABSTRACT WHITEWATER PARK DESIGN PRINCIPLES: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR MULTIPLE USER GROUPS Byron Lester Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Sean Kelly Existing whitewater courses have several design issues relating to their ability to balance expert, novice recreational, and commercial use. The goal of this study is to establish a better understanding of whitewater park design that incorporates the needs of multiple user groups in one integrated approach. Through elite interviewing whitewater park design was investigated and the data was analyzed identifying seven design principles and thirty seven detailed design recommendations. These design principles and recommendations were applied to create a preliminary conceptual design of a whitewater park. The design recommendations and conceptual design were evaluated by a professional whitewater course designer. The evaluation revealed that adaptability is an important principle in whitewater park design and that design recommendations must be flexible to allow for client input and site constraints. This research expands our knowledge of multifunctional design of whitewater parks that resolves user conflicts and important functional relationships. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I offer my deepest gratitude to my advisor Sean Kelly for his expertise and guidance in developing my thesis, while allowing me the freedom to work in my own way. I would like to thank Lise Burcher for her support and assistance as my committee member.
