In this context, consistent with Defra’s strategic review of flood risk management- Making Space for Water, it is possible that controlling runoff of rainwater from farmland, as well as the storage of floodwaters in lowland rural areas, could contribute to the management of flood risk, especially reducing flood damage to urban properties. This summary reviews the aim, approach and findings of surveys of farmers and other interested parties carried out in selected catchments in England and Wales to explore perceptions of the links between land management and flood generation. The work was part of Work Package 7.2 on Policy and Stakeholders in Rural Areas, conducted during 2005/06 by Cranfield University as part of the Flood Risk Management Research Consortium (FRMRC), funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.
