The revised list of RZs are presented in Table A1. For each RZ we describe the characteristics of the zone, any details from previous droughts and the drought measures that we would take in each zone. Resource Zones (RZs) Central Lincolnshire East Lincolnshire West Lincolnshire Hunstanton Fenland North Norfolk Coast Norwich & Broads Norfolk Rural Ely Newmarket Cheveley Sudbury West Suffolk East Suffolk South Essex Central Essex Ruthamford North Ruthamford South Hartlepool Drought Plan 2014 Appendixanglianwater.co.uk 1 Resource Zone Characteristics & Drought Measures Central Lincolnshire 4 Resource Zone Characteristics & Drought Measures Central Lincolnshire Central Lincolnshire Central Lincolnshire RZ Characteristics The Central Lincolnshire RZ extends south from the Humber and is based on the supply systems for Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Grantham and Sleaford. The main water resource for the zone is Lincolnshire Limestone aquifer. There are also groundwater abstractions from the Sherwood Sandstone and the Chalk. Surface water is abstracted from the River Ancholme, which is supported with water from the River Witham and the River Trent. Customers to the Drought Plan 2014 Appendixanglianwater.co.uk 1 5 south of this zone are also supplied with raw water supplies from Rutland Water. The new Hall WTW was opened in July 2014, which will treat water abstracted directly from the River Trent for supply to customers in Lincoln. The zone includes five drought vulnerable groundwater sources. Increasing nitrate levels in the Lincolnshire Limestone aquifer have been managed by developing satellite groundwater sources in the confined limestone aquifer, which have also secured source reliable outputs and hence deployable outputs under low groundwater level conditions. The Elsham WTW is reliant on augmentation of the flow of the River Ancholme by the Environment Agency’s Trent-Witham-Ancholme (TWA) transfer scheme during lower summer flows. The TWA scheme is managed by the Environment Agency under a section 20 agreement. Previous drought The Northern Chalk was most affected with the early 1990’s groundwater drought, during which the Section 20 Agreement (see East Lincolnshire RZ for more details) was fully invoked by the National Rivers Authority and use of both the TWA and Great Eau transfers was maximised. The drought of the early 1990’s affected the Lincolnshire Limestone aquifer in this zone. This was addressed by the development of satellite boreholes and additional boreholes were drilled during the 2011-12 drought to help further improve the security of supply. Groundwater levels in the Lincolnshire Limestone reached historic lows during the 2011-12 drought, but recovered remarkably quickly as a result of the extended period of rain that followed (in some instances levels in the Lincolnshire Limestone recovered by 10 metres in less than 2 weeks). Despite the vulnerability of these groundwater sources to drought, we do not envisage any problems in maintaining deployable outputs from groundwater sources during a drought. Under current demands there is both average and peak headroom capacity in this zone. The raw water transfer from Rutland Water to the zone was constructed in response to the 1976 drought. In 1976, the TWA transfer licence from the River Trent was found to be the limiting factor for our direct intake from the River Ancholme. This period has been used to define the reliable yield of the source. Whilst the RZ as a whole has a surplus of potable water available, the proposed development of non-potable supplies to meet increasing industrial demand has driven the extension of our Elsham WTW. Minor investment is also being delivered to maintain the security of supplies through local enhancement to the trunk main and local distribution systems to facilitate increased internal transfers within the RZ. 6 Resource Zone Characteristics & Drought Measures Central Lincolnshire Drought Measures We would look to optimise conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water sources in the RZ. Anglian Water would look to increase Elsham sourceworks output to the daily licensed quantity, which would require continued support through the TWA scheme. Additional resources from this scheme would only be available under a Drought Order to change the Environment Agency abstraction licence from the River Trent. The option exists to re-commission the intake on the River Witham and install the required treatment, however, the low flows experienced during drought conditions would not make this a particularly reliable option. We will routinely monitor our drought vulnerable boreholes to identify the onset of potential drought conditions. On a local scale replacement / satellite boreholes would be developed if required to sustain source reliable outputs and hence deployable outputs from the Limestone aquifer sourceworks. Intra-Zonal transfers would be used to balance supplies with demands using existing or new trunk mains. Drought Plan 2014 Appendixanglianwater.co.uk 1 Resource Zone Characteristics & Drought Measures East Lincolnshire 8 Resource Zone Characteristics & Drought Measures East Lincolnshire East Lincolnshire East Lincolnshire Resource Zone Characteristics The East Lincolnshire RZ extends from the Humber to the Wash and is based on the supply systems for Grimsby, Louth, Skegness, Boston, Bourne, Spalding and Stamford. In the northern part of this zone, the main water resources are abstractions from the Chalk and Spilsby Sandstone. A Section 20 Water Resource Management Agreement with the Environment Agency serves to protect and limit the use of the Northern Lincolnshire Chalk aquifer during periods of naturally low groundwater levels, which can result in low spring flows from the Lincolnshire Wolds and saline intrusion along the south bank of the Humber Drought Plan 2014 Appendixanglianwater.co.uk 1 9 Estuary. The Section 20 Agreement restricts abstraction from the Chalk during drought to protect groundwater quality. This restriction limits the average deployable outputs of 13 of our groundwater sources and is accounted for in our water resource management planning process. We are currently investigating the potential impact of a number of our Northern Lincolnshire Chalk groundwater sources on low flow rivers and streams, as part of the AMP5 National Environment Programme. A downward trend in groundwater levels in the confined Spilsby Sandstone over the last decade has led to a voluntary reduction of the previously increased licensed abstraction quantities from the aquifer, with an increase of surface water being transferred south. This has been supported by investment into reinforcement of trunk mains. We abstract from the Louth Canal to fill Covenham reservoir. We also have the option to operate the Great Eau transfer scheme to provide a significant increase to the contributory catchment and augment the yield of Covenham reservoir during drought periods. The Great Eau scheme is managed with the Environment Agency under a section 20 agreement. In the southern part of this zone we abstract groundwater from the Southern Lincolnshire Limestone aquifer. Abstraction boreholes are all located in the confined aquifer beneath the Fens, which receives recharge through the narrow band of outcrop that runs north south through Stamford and Sleaford. The zone has historically exported water to Peterborough, however as demand has grown this has ceased and water is now imported from Rutland Water. Borehole yields in the confined aquifer are prolific and abstractions are only limited by the need to restrict drawdown in the aquifer to maintain confined discharges from natural springs known locally

    Some Elements of the Landscape History of the Five 'Low Villages'

    Some elements of the Landscape History of the five ‘Low Villages’, North Lincolnshire. Richard Clarke. Some elements of the landscape history of the five ‘Low Villages’, north Lincolnshire. The following twelve short articles were written for the Low Villages monthly magazine in 2014 and 2015. Part One was the first, and so on. In presenting all 12 as one file certain formatting problems were encountered, particularly with Parts two and three. Part One. Middlegate follows the configuration of the upper scarp slope of the chalk escarpment from the top of the ascent in S. Ferriby to Elsham Hill, from where a direct south-east route, independent of contours, crosses the ‘Barnetby Gap’ to Melton Ross. The angled ascent in S. Ferriby to the western end of the modern chalk Quarry is at a gradient of 1:33 and from thereon Middlegate winds south through the parishes of Horkstow, Saxby, Bonby and Worlaby following the undulations in the landscape at about ten meters below the highest point of the scarp slope. Therefore the route affords panoramic views west and north-west but not across the landscape of the dip slope to the east. Cameron 1 considered the prefix middle to derive from the Old English ‘middel’ and gate from the Old Norse ‘gata’ meaning a way, path or road. From the 6th and 7th centuries Old English (Anglo-Saxon) terms would have mixed with the Romano-British language, Old Norse (Viking) from the 9 th century. However Middlegate had existed as a route-way long before these terms could have been applied, it being thought to have been a Celtic highway, possibly even Neolithic and thus dating back five millennia.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information.

    The Distribution of Plecoptera and Ephemeroptera in a Lowland Region of Britain (Lincolnshire) by T. E. LANGFORD * & E. S. BRAY** Central Electricity Research Laboratories INTRODUCTION Most of the information concerning distribution and ecology of Plecoptera and Ephemeroptera in Britain, has come from studies of streams in hill and mountain regions, particularly Wales, (HYNES 1961), the English Lake District (See MACAN 1963 p. 20 for refs., GLEDHILL 1960), the Pennines (BROWN, CRAGG & CRISP 1964), Scotland (MORGAN & EGGLISHAW 1965a), and Dartmoor (ELLIOTT 1967). Very little attention has been paid to the distribution of these insects in lowland regions, though isolated records have been published (HARRIS 1952, HYNES 1958, MACAN 1961). From August 1961 to February 1968, regular biological surveys of streams, rivers and pools in Lincolnshire were carried out, mainly to investigate the natural distribution of invertebrate animals and to assess the effects of polluting discharges on the composition of the invertebrate communities. In these surveys 7 species of Plecoptera (Langford 1964), and 15 species of Ephemeroptera (LANGFORD 1965) were recorded. Of these 22 species, 19 were new records for the region . This paper describes the distribution and abundance of the species in relation to the topography and chemistry of Lincolnshire streams, rivers and pools, and the Plecoptera and Ephemeroptera faunas of the *Central Electricity Research Laboratories, Leatherhead, (Surrey) . **Cornwall River Authority Launceston, Cornwall . Received October 22th, 1968. 243 region are compared to those of the mountain regions . The topo- graphy and geology of Lincolnshire is described briefly .

  • River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is

    River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is

    River Witham The source of the 8th longest river wholly in England is just outside the county, Lincolnshire, through which it follows almost all of a 132km course to the sea, which is shown on the map which accompanies Table Wi1 at the end of the document. Three kilometres west of the village of South Witham, on a minor road called Fosse Lane, a sign points west over a stile to a nature reserve. There, the borders of 3 counties, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire meet. The reserve is called Cribb’s Meadow, named for a famous prize fighter of the early 19th century; at first sight a bizarre choice at such a location, though there is a rational explanation. It was known as Thistleton Gap when Tom Cribb had a victory here in a world championship boxing match against an American, Tom Molineaux, on 28th September 1811; presumably it was the only time he was near the place, as he was a Bristolian who lived much of his life in London. The organisers of bare-knuckle fights favoured venues at such meeting points of counties, which were distant from centres of population; they aimed to confuse Justices of the Peace who had a duty to interrupt the illegal contests. Even if the responsible Justices managed to attend and intervene, a contest might be restarted nearby, by slipping over the border into a different jurisdiction. In this fight, which bore little resemblance to the largely sanitised boxing matches of today, it is certain that heavy blows were landed, blood was drawn, and money changed hands, before Cribb won in 11 rounds; a relatively short fight, as it had taken him over 30 rounds to beat the same opponent at the end of the previous year to win his title.
