This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Ribble catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Ribble CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England and parts of Preston are also at risk of tidal flooding. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed We estimate 6400 properties in the catchment have inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for a 1% annual probability of flooding from rivers or a the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland 0.5% annual probability of flooding from the tide. We flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water estimate that by 2100 approximately 12,400 properties and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from the will be at risk of flooding (fluvial and tidal).

  • Advisory Visit for Lancashire Fly Fishing Association Rivers Ribble
    Advisory Visit for Lancashire Fly Fishing Association Rivers Ribble and Hodder April 16 th 2013 1.0 Introduction This report presents the results of a site visit undertaken by Gareth Pedley of th the Wild Trout Trust to the River Ribble and Hodder on 16 April 2012. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with John Shorrock, Jim Dewhurst, Bob Garnett and Eric Beaghan. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LB) or right hand bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Location coordinates are given using the Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system. 2.0 Catchment Originating on the western edge of the Yorkshire dales, within the Yorkshire Dales Natural Area; the River Ribble rises from an area of predominantly limestone geology, with some subordinate sandstones. Proceeding downstream, into the Forest of Bowland Natural Area, the geology of the catchment changes, becoming more heavily dominated by sandstone and mudstones; however, bands of limestone bedrock are a continued influence (www.naturalareas.naturalengland.org.uk/Science/natural/NA_search.asp ). This sequence is reflected in the catchment of most of the Ribble’s tributaries, including the Hodder, where limestone is a significant geological component within the catchment. The relatively permeable nature of this geology, with high calcium content is likely to buffer water pH within the rivers to neutral or alkaline in most section, improving their productivity, to the benefit of both fish and invertebrates. Unlike many more southerly limestone rivers, which are fed predominantly from groundwater and maintain higher, stable base flows; the Yorkshire Dales limestone rivers tend to receive a higher proportion of surface water.

  • River Ribble the River Ribble Is One of the Longest Rivers in the North West of England
    River Ribble The River Ribble is one of the longest rivers in the North West of England Did you know? • The tidal limit of the Ribble is 11 miles inland (above Preston); • The River Ribble is home to a variety of protected species, including the Eurasian otter, Atlantic salmon and white- clawed crayfish; • The mouth of the Ribble Estuary is 10 miles (16 km) wide; • An average of 340,000 water birds over-winter on the Ribble Estuary, making it the most important wetland site in Britain; • The Ribble estuary is the 7th largest estuary in the UK; • The Ribble marked the ancient northern boundary of Mercia, and at the time of the Domesday Book was the northern boundary of Cheshire; • The Ribble catchment is the pilot basin for the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive in the UK. Location and Basic Geography Map showing the catchment of the River Ribble in North West England. Location and Basic Geography The Ribble Basin, located in the North West of England, includes all of the land that drains into the Ribble Estuary. This includes five main rivers and all their tributaries (the Ribble, Hodder, Calder, Darwen, and Douglas) and the Crossens drainage system. The River Ribble rises in the Pennines in the Yorkshire Dales at the confluence of Gayle Beck and Cam Beck. It flows east 100km before running into the Irish Sea. It is one of the longest rivers in the North West, draining a catchment of 2128 km2 (860 miles2) and covering a distance of 110 km from source to sea.

  • Summary of Fisheries Statistics 1974-77 NORTH WEST WATER AUTHORITY RIVERS DIVISION
    Summary of fishery statistics, 1974-77 Item Type monograph Publisher North West Water Authority Download date 25/09/2021 17:39:42 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/24897 North West a>mr Water Rivers Division Summary of Fisheries Statistics 1974-77 NORTH WEST WATER AUTHORITY RIVERS DIVISION SUMMARY OF FISHERIES STATISTICS 1974/1977 INCLUSIVE INTRODUCTION Prior to reorganisation of the Water Industry in 1974 it had for long been the practice of the River Authorities and their predecessor bodies to publish, in their Annual Reports, a considerable amount of tabulated data relating to the fisheries of their respective areas. The format of the new Water Authority's Annual Report resulted in the omission of much of this data and the consolidation of the remainder into a form incompatible with previous presentation. In the course of preparing papers and assessing trends, not only Fisheries Departments but also other workers commonly have occasion to refer back to detailed, long term data. It was decided, therefore, that, in addition to the abbreviated fisheries statistics published in the Water Authority's Annual Report, complete data, as in the time of the former River Authorities, should continue to be made available in the form of a 'Statistical Review' issued annually. The present publication - the first of its kind - has involved 'getting up to date' and thus covers the period 1974-77 inclusive. It is to be followed annually by a much slimmer booklet presenting the data for the previous year, commencing with 1978. J.D. Kelsall. Regional Fisheries Officer. 8th November,1978.

    ^p\ - Vs^xVvx Ribble Catchment Management Consultation Report Summary n a t i o n a l l i b r a r y & inform ation s e rv ic e p A \ \Cq_ ic r > o INTRODUCTION As the ‘Guardian of the Water Environment’ in England and Wales, the National Rivers Authority (NRA) is committed to protecting and improving the water environment and protecting people and property from flooding. Catchment Management Planning is a procedure designed to create a Flooding in the Ribble Valley consistent framework within which the diverse responsibilities of the NRA can be applied to a river catchment, in a co-ordinated manner. Catchment management involves the NRA using its powers and working with others to ensure that the rivers, lakes, coastal and underground waters of particular areas are protected and, where possible, improved, and that water is made available for all reasonable needs. River catchments are subject to increasing use by a variety of activities. Many of these interact and some conflicts arise. The conflicting requirements and interests of users and beneficiaries must be balanced. The NRA has responsibilities in the following areas: • Maintenance of existing assets and investment in new assets to provide flood protection and the management of water resources. • Control of pollution by working with dischargers to achieve improvements and response to emergencies. • Determination, policing, enforcment and review of the conditions in water abstraction licences, discharge consents and land drainage consents to balance differing, and sometimes conflicting needs, whilst protecting the water environment. • Development of fisheries, and promotion of recreation, navigation and conservation.
