  • Sediment Yields in the Exe Basin: a Longer-Term Perspective
    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 12 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. Sediment yields in the Exe Basin: a longer-term perspective ANNA HARLOW, BRUCE WEBB & DES WALLING School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources, Department of Geography, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter EX4 4RJ, UK [email protected] Abstract In the UK, fine sediment is viewed increasingly as a diffuse pollu- tant due to its role as a vector for the transport of potential contaminants, and in causing siltation, which may have adverse effects on river and estuarine habitats. There is a need, therefore, for river managers to have reliable information on sediment budgets in order to plan measures that will achieve “good” status under the EU Water Framework Directive. As part of a wider sediment-budget investigation in the EU-funded Cycleau Project, detailed records of fine sediment yield over the 10-year period from 1994–2003 have been analysed for the Exe Basin (1500 km2), a principal river system of southwest England. The longer-term average yields in the three major tributaries of the Exe Basin are discussed and results of monitoring of sediment loads at a site near the tidal limit over a one-year period confirm the importance of the River Exe in contributing sediment to the Estuary. Key words diffuse pollution; Exe Basin and estuary; longer-term behaviour; suspended sediment yields INTRODUCTION River systems provide a key pathway along which fine sediment (silt and clay particles of <63 µm in diameter) is transferred from the terrestrial to the estuarine environment.

  • A CASE STUDY Paul Canning1 the Exe Estuary Is
    DETERMINING A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO MANAGING AN ESTUARY MOUTH – A CASE STUDY Paul Canning1 Estuaries and their floodplains represent locations where significant population, industry and environmental interests exist. Sand spits located at estuary mouths are one factor in influencing both hydrodynamics and geomorphology. As such, their management is important as regards managing both flood and coastal risk, and the evolution of designated flora and fauna. This paper describes a study to develop a way forward for managing Dawlish Warren sand spit, located at the mouth of the Exe Estuary in Devon, UK. Dawlish Warren sand spit is important as it influences geomorphological evolution of the mouth and wider estuary, provides storm sheltering for up to 2,900 properties and national transport infrastructure in the estuary, is an internationally designated Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and influences the wider Exe Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA). Keywords: climate change, adaptation, sustainable, estuaries OVERVIEW OF EXISTING SITUATION The Exe Estuary is located in Devon, UK (see Figure 1). It is a spit enclosed drowned river valley (Defra, 2007), which has been subjected to marine inundation caused by a rise in sea level at the end of the most recent glaciation (which ended c. 12,000 years ago). The Exe Estuary has a shoreline length of 40km, channel length of 16km, valley width 2km and a mouth width of 380m. It is classified as macrotidal with a range of 4m, whilst the River Exe (the main tributary) has a mean flow of 23m3/s, and a maximum of 371m3/s. At the mouth of the Exe Estuary, the sand spit of Dawlish Warren covers approximately three quarters of the estuary mouth width, and consequently potentially shelters the estuary from the coastal swell wave climate, as well as influencing the propagation of extreme tide levels.

  • Accompanying Notes to the 'Exhibition': Photographs of The
    Accompanying Notes to the ‘Exhibition’: Photographs of the River Exe and its flood channel as it flows through Exeter. Karen Huckvale 2005 A Brief History of the River Exe. The River Exe is close to the origin, patterns of settlement and trading heart of the city of Exeter, the route of imports, exports, waste disposal and communication. Exeter was an international trading place from pre Roman times. A considerable number of Hellenistic or Eastern Mediterranean coins have been found in excavations within the city which indicate there was trade and significant connections between the ‘Exeter’ site and with the Mediterranean countries from around 250 BCE. The people who lived in Exeter before the Romans came were a Celtic tribe known as the Dumnonii. Some of them were traders but they were mostly farming and fishing people. The Exe in those days was full of salmon and the word Exe may derive from a British word Eisca meaning, ‘a river abounding in fish.’ The Romans occupied the site in 49 AD and gave it the name of Isca Dumnoniorum meaning Isca, capital city of the Dumnonii. Then in about AD 120 they began building: houses, public buildings a regular street pattern and substantial high earth banks around the town. These were superseded in 200 AD with a wall which became the line of the medieval city walls. The Romans must also have had a bridge over the Exe. Whilst nothing remains it seems pretty certain that there was a timber bridge similar to that built over the Thames in Roman London.

  • The Evolution of the Rivers of East Devon and South Somerset, UK
    R.W. Gallois THE EVOLUTION OF THE RIVERS OF EAST DEVON AND SOUTH SOMERSET , UK R.W.G ALLOIS Gallois, R.W. 2006. The evolution of the rivers of east Devon and south Somerset, UK. Geoscience in south-west England, 11 , 205-213. With the exception of the River Tone, which appears to have been separated at an early stage from its neighbours to the south by a major fault, the rivers of south Somerset and east Devon were initiated on a southward dipping Tertiary planation surface. The evolutionary histories of the present-day catchments of the rivers Exe and Otter are complex and inter-related. Those of the adjacent Axe and Teign appear to be less complex and may have evolved relatively independently from the Exe-Otter system. The differences in the histories of the catchments are most clearly demonstrated by their terrace systems. The Exe-Otter catchment has 10 or more terrace levels at heights of up to 140 m above the modern floodplain. In contrast, the Axe, Teign and Tone catchments contain only one or two terrace levels all of which are less than 20 m above the present-day valley floor. The explanation suggested here for the difference involves a sequence of river captures that changed the forerunner of the present-day Otter from a major river capable of producing a 3-km wide gravelly braidplain into a minor stream. 92 Stoke Valley Road, Exeter, EX4 5ER, U.K. (E-mail: [email protected]).
