    2011 Lake Odyssey was a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring local history through the arts with a particular focus on the 1950’s, when Chew Valley Lake was made. This was a major local event. The town of Moreton was fl ooded to make way for a reservoir supplying water to South Bristol and the Queen visited the area to offi cially open and inaugurate the lake in 1956. The Lake Odyssey 2011 project gave pupils at Chew Valley School and their cluster of primary schools a chance to explore the history of their community in a fun and creative way. Pupils took part in various workshops throughout the spring and summer of 2011 to produce the content for the fi nal Lake Odyssey event day on Saturday 16th July 2011, which saw the local community come together for a day of celebration and performance at Chew Valley Lake. Balloon Launch The Lake Odyssey 2011 project offi cially launched on Friday 4th March with a balloon re- lease. Year seven and eight pupils released the balloons to mark and celebrate the occasion. A logo competition had been running within the primary cluster and Chew Valley School to fi nd a design for the Lake Odyssey logo. The winners were announced by Heritage Lottery representative Cherry Ann Knott. The lucky winners were Bea Tucker from East Harptree Pri- mary School and Hazel Stockwell-Cooke from Chew Valley School, whose designs featured in all publicity for the Lake Odyssey 2011 project. Bishop Sutton Songwriting Swallow class from Bishop Sutton Primary School took part in a song writing workshop, com- posing their own song from scratch with Leo Holloway.

  • Eutrophication: Research and Application to Water Supply
    EUTROPHICATION: RESEARCH AND APPLICATION TO WATER SUPPLY Edited by DAVID W. SUTCLIFFE AND J. GWYNFRYN JONES Published by the Freshwater Biological Association Invited papers from a specialised conference held in London on 10-11 December 1991 by the Freshwater Biological Association, The Ferry House, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 OLP and International Water Supply Association, 1 Queen Anne's Gate, London SW1H 9BT © Freshwater Biological Association 1992 ISBN 0-900386-52-5 Active reservoir management: a model solution J. HILTON, A. E. IRISH AND C. S. REYNOLDS Institute of Freshwater Ecology, Windermere Laboratory, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 OLP, England Predictions from a functional model of algal growth capacity (maximum achievable algal biomass) and algal species succession for Chew Valley Lake (UK) were compared with observed data for 1989. Initial simulations grossly underestimated algal growth from the late spring onwards. However, inclusion of a pulsed input of phosphorus from the sediment, at a level consistent with field observations, resulted in very good predictions. The model was then applied to a number of hypothetical operational scenarios as examples of the use of such a model as a tool for reservoir management. An example is also given of an extension of the model to predict chemical properties of abstracted and treated water. Introduction Several presentations in this conference have outlined the difficulties of using both steady-state and statistically-fitted models when predicting the effects of remedial actions on algal growth. Steady-state procedures, of their very nature, cannot deal with dynamic situations. Statistical models require extensive calibration, and predictions often have to be made for environmental conditions which are often outside the original calibration conditions.

  • The Stratford Lane Roman Road and Other Early Routes on Mendip
    Proc, Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1992 19 (2), 151-182 THE STRATFORD LANE ROMAN ROAD AND OTHER EARLY ROUTES ON MENDIP by R.G..I.WILLIAMS ABSTRACT The existence of the Stratford Lane Road was first suggested in 1906- Opinions have differed firstly as lo us course from Ihe Mendip hilltop into Ihe Chew Valley and secondly as to Us function. This road and some medieval mutes in the ure;i wliidi might have Roman or earlier origins are examined in detail in this paper which also queries Ihe theory that the River Chew was used to transport Roman lead. Fieldwork was aided by the study of documents dating from ihe .sixteenth century held locally and in Ihe United Stales »f America. Fresh information on some archaeological sites on Mendip is given, including newly identified round-barrows, old boundary stones, a pillow mound and Ihe boundary of a medieval warren. INTRODUCTION In all ages since the neolithic farming communities became settled there has been a need for both local communication between habitation sites and access to resources. The elaborately constructed wooden trackways, dated to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, found in the peat moors south of the Mendip Hills, suggest a planned communication system with connections to other areas. Iron Age settlement on Ihe central Mendip plateau in caves, enclosures and hill-forts is confined to the edges of the escarpment but there is a dispersed pattern of farmsteads in the surrounding valleys, There is evidence of bronze and iron working at these .sites but there was only a limited use of lead in the Iron Age.
