  • The Phosphorus Content of Fluvial Sediment in Rural and Industrialized River Basins
    Water Research 36 (2002) 685–701 The phosphorus content of fluvial sediment in rural and industrialized river basins Philip N. Owens*, Desmond E. Walling Department of Geography, School of Geography & Archaeology, University of Exeter, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter, Devon EX4 4RJ, UK Received 3 August 2000; received in revised form18 April 2001; accepted 9 May 2001 Abstract The phosphorus content of fluvial sediment (suspended sediment and the o63 mmfraction of floodplain and channel bed sediment) has been examined in contrasting rural (moorland and agricultural) and industrialized catchments in Yorkshire, UK. The River Swale drains a rural catchment with no major urban and industrial areas, and the total phosphorus (TP) content of fluvial sediment is generally within the range 500–1500 mggÀ1. There is little evidence of any major downstream increase in TP content. In contrast, fluvial sediment from the industrialized catchments of the Rivers Aire and Calder exhibits both higher levels of TP content and marked downstream increases, with values of TP content ranging from o2000 mggÀ1 in headwater areas upstreamof the mainurban and industrial areas, to values >7000 mggÀ1 at downstreamsites. These elevated levels reflect P inputs frompoint sources, such as sewage treatment works (STWs) and combined sewer overflows. The influence of STWs is further demonstrated by the downstream increase in the inorganic P/organic P ratio from o2 in the headwaters to >4 in the lower reaches. Comparison of the P content of suspended sediment with that of the o63 mmfraction of potential source materialssuggests that topsoil from upland moorland/pasture and from cultivated areas, and channel bank material are likely to be the main sources of particulate P (PP) in the River Swale and in the headwaters of the Rivers Aire and Calder.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

It’s our job to look after your environment and make it a better place – for you, and for future generations. We build and maintain the majority of flood defences in low- lying areas of England and Wales to reduce the risk to homes and businesses. We are also responsible for warning the public about flooding from rivers and the sea in England and Wales and raising awareness of flood risk.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Climate change means that we are going to get wetter winters, frequent stormy weather conditions and rising sea levels. We cannot afford to ignore the threat of flooding. We all have a role to play in dealing with the causes and effects of climate change. We consider climate change in everything we do and have a major role in limiting its impact by addressing its causes and adapting to change. As part of this role we look at the causes of flooding and decide if anything can be done to reduce the risk to people and property. But it’s not just about building walls and embankments along rivers to hold back the water in times of heavy rain.

  • Beck History
    Pre-print of article in The Bradford Antiquary, Vol. 78, pages 88-100 The Bradford Beck by David (Barney) Lerner, Chair of Friends of Bradford’s Becks. The interaction of rock formations, ice ages and rainfall over geological time has created the valley and catchment of “Bradford Dale”. The small river in the dale, Bradford Beck, and its tributaries drain much of the land that now underlies Bradford. Over the last millennium man has done much to remould the surface of the catchment, and the history of the waterways reflects the economic geography of the area over that time. This article will sketch some of the history of Bradford’s becks relating to water power, flooding, pollution and culverting. But let’s start with names and a brief description of the becks in the catchment (Figure 1). Figure 1. Bradford Beck and its tributaries. Bradford 1 is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Bradeford (http://opendomesday.org/place/SE1633/bradford/), meaning broad ford; this refers to a crossing point of the Beck near the Cathedral. 1 Please note that the boundaries of Bradford change throughout history and, to keep the text simple, details of the changes are not usually included in the descriptions below. 1 Pre-print of article in The Bradford Antiquary, Vol. 78, pages 88-100 The main channel of the Beck changes its name, from Pinch Beck at the upstream end west of Thornton, to Clayton Beck, Middlebrook and finally to Bradford Beck as it enters the urban area around Crossley Hall. The character of the Beck and its tributaries varies greatly.

  • A History of Bradford Beck
    Appendix 1. Bradford Beck – A History The West Yorkshire city of Bradford is located in the eastern foothills of the Pennines. The local geology is ancient and includes the Bradford Coal Measures that are rock formations dating from the Carboniferous period of 310 million years ago 1. Like most of the UK the land that makes the area of Bradford was fundamentally shaped by the succession of ice ages over geological time. During the ice ages the land in which Bradford sits was covered by a succession of large ice lakes of which the remains of their sediment deposits can be found on the slopes of the hills of Bradford. The history of the beck system reflects the history and development of Bradford as a city and it is possible that the beck and its springs and tributaries may have been serving human and proto-human populations for around 800,000 years, which dates to the earliest recorded finds of human activity in the British Isles 2. The written record notes the area as being settled in Saxon times and in 1086 it was known as "Bradeford" 3. The name of the town related to the 'ford' or bridge over the central beck, near the Cathedral, although Bridge Street hasn't had an open stream or bridge for 140+ years. Figure 1. A map of Bradford town 1800. Source: Bradford Library Collection Bradford was always important as a market place for wool and other textiles and this only increased as coal from local coal mines was harnessed to feed the new steam powered machines of the industrial revolution, and after the town was connected to the Leeds Liverpool canal in 1774.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy
    Bradford District Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 1 Executive Summary Adverse weather is a national concern and the risk of flooding in England is predicted to increase as a result of climate change and development in areas at risk. The Environment Agency’s (EA) 2008 National Flood Risk Assessment showed 2.4 million properties are at risk of flooding from rivers and sea, with one million of those also susceptible to surface water flooding. A further 2.8 million properties are susceptible to surface water flooding alone. This equates to 1 in 6 at risk properties with expected annual damage costs of more than £1 billion to residential and non-residential properties. Flood risk across the Bradford District is varied but caused in the main by overland flow following short, high intensity, or heavy, prolonged rainfall events and/or overtopping rivers and watercourses. There is a history of land and property flooding, the most recent and severe flooding in the district in 15 years being a consequence of Storms Desmond and Eva in 2015. It is important to realise that it is not possible to prevent all flooding, it is inevitable and can occur at any time, however, there are actions that can be taken to manage risk and reduce impact. As Lead Local Flood Authority, the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is required under Section 9 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, to develop, maintain, apply and monitor a strategy for local flood risk management – a “Local Flood Risk Management Strategy”. The strategy must detail the risk management authorities and the functions that they can exercise within the Bradford Lead Local Flood Authority area, assess local flood risk, the objectives for managing that risk and measures proposed to implement those objectives.
