RIVER DERWENT CATCHMENT BOARD It is barely a hundred years since the artificial draining of Agricultural land in Great Britain was systematically taken in hand because the growth of population increased the demand for food. At first everybody concerned put his energies into "field drainage" while the effect upon main rivers was not considered, but as time went on and towns absorbed all the increase in population (which is now four times as great as that of 1811) the effect of Land Drainage became evident, and floods of the greater rivers grew more sudden and were the cause of serious inconvenience to the population dwelling in the houses along their banks. -

Lowing HYDROLOGICAL DATA: 1982 FOREWORD In April 1982, care of the United Kingdom national archive of surface water data passed from the Department of the Environ- ment's Water Data Unit (which was disbanded) to the Institute of Hydrology (IH). In a similar move, the Institute of Geological Sciences, subsequently renamed the British Geological Survey (BGS), took over the national groundwater archive. Both IH and BGS are component bodies of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The BGS hydrogeologists are located with at Wallingford and close cooperation between the two groups has led, among other things, to the decision to publish a single series of yearbooks and reports dealing with nationally archived surface and groundwater data and the use made of them. -
Living Lakes
Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders. -

History of Holy Trinity, Colton
- HOLY TRINITY CHURCH COLTON NOTES ON ITS HISTORY AND ENVIRONS The parish of Colton lies in that part of Cumbria which was known as High Furness (now South Lakeland) and though it is not generally thought of as being part of the English Lake District, it is yet near enough to that enchanting region to share some of the magic of its renowned beauty. The sterner and wilder aspects of Nature - high mountains, difficult passes, deep lakes, raging and tumultuous water falls are not here; these lie farther North. A glimpse, however, of what we may expect there is suggested if from Colton we look across the beautiful valley of the Crake coming from Coniston Water, to that noble group of mountains which includes the Old Man, Dow Crag and Wetherlam. Though this scene is less majestic and awe-inspiring than the more famous Cumbrian views, yet its loveliness delights the eye and seems to link our Colton panorama with the beginning of the true Lake District. We have around us, in this parish of Colton, scenery of a charm and variety which provides perpetual wonder and joy. There are fine stretches of fell country across which streams and becks innumerable make their picturesque courses to the rivers Leven and Crake, adding 'the beauty born of murmuring sound' to their visual attractions. The scenery is far more diversified than that of Low Furness and it has a varied and irregular surface of cheerful valleys, rocky but modest acclivities and hanging woods everywhere, clothing their sides, almost to their summits. Colton Church is set in a scene of such wonderful beauty that anyone approaching it for the first time might be forgiven if he compared the apparent insignificance of man's handiwork with the striking loveliness of surrounding Nature. -

Cumbria Canoeists British Canoeing's Regional Development Team
Cumbria Canoeists British Canoeing’s Regional Development Team Access Matters - River Greta and Middle River Derwent British Canoeing is happy to endorse this latest review of the Access Arrangement for the River Greta and Middle River Derwent in Cumbria. No changes have been made regarding access but we have asked the West Cumbria Rivers Trust and Environment Agency to update the environmental information contained in the arrangement and include their comments. British Canoeing advises that the decision whether or not to paddle is the responsibility of individual paddlers and that access to or from the river is possible either by using public rights of way or where permission to cross private land has been agreed with the landowner. Particular regard should be given to environmental conditions (especially during the months of November and December – see below), Always consider other users and factors as highlighted in the British Canoeing leaflet “You, your canoe and the environment”. The following notes only refer to access and egress points and environmental matters; please check other sources for information regarding the grade (difficulty) of these rivers, their features and hazards on the various sections. The Access Arrangement The Derwent and Greta river system is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and this arrangement aims to conserve and protect the environment and its wildlife whilst taking account of seasonal changes and supporting responsible canoe access: • 1st January to and including 31st October: access agreed subject to the following general conditions defined below • 1st November to and including 31st December: canoeing may take place on the River Greta and Middle River Derwent in spate conditions as defined below.
