  • Evidence Sharing Platform Trial Report and Recommendations
    Westcountry Rivers Trust Evidence Sharing Platform Trial Report and recommendations March 2016 The Evidence Sharing Platform trial is funded by the Defra Catchment Partnership Fund and the EU WaterLIFE programme Evidence Sharing Platform The Evidence Sharing Platform Project aimed to test online platforms to facilitate multi-way information sharing within the Environment Agency and between EA and the rest of the CaBA partnerships. In addition, through workshops and discussions, the Task & Finish Group established protocols, recommendations and guidance to enable community groups to more effectively input to River Basin Management Planning, an area where the EA and Defra have previously been taken to judicial review. Sharing of near real-time field work and monitoring plans to enable better coordination between CaBA partners will allow everyone involved to collaboratively deliver the updated river basin management plan in the most efficent fashion. Executive Summary In 2014/15 a number of organisations came together to trial the use of an online collaboration platform for increasing transparency of information sharing between partners involved in the Catchment Based Approach. The trial was part funded by the Catchment Partnership Fund, with match funding and time in kind from the Environment Agency, The Rivers Trust, Westcountry Rivers Trust, Ribble Rivers Trust and the Freshwater Biological Association. The Evidence Sharing Platform (ESP) Trial was set up to increase transparency and improve information sharing between all parties involved in the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA), and to ensure that local catchment plans and River Basin Management Plans are informed by the best available evidence. This report sets out the aims and objectives, technical issues encountered, solutions developed and recommendations for other CaBA partnerships wishing to adopt a similar approach.

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).

Environment Agency Lune and Wyre Licence Strategy 2 Foreword Water is the most essential of our natural resources, and it is our job to ensure that we manage and use it effectively and sustainably. The latest population growth and climate change predictions show that pressure on water resources is likely to increase in the future. In light of this, we have to ensure that we continue to maintain and improve sustainable abstraction and balance the needs of society, the economy and the environment. This licensing strategy sets out how we will manage water resources in the Lune and Wyre catchment and provides you with information on how we will manage existing abstraction licences and water availability for further abstraction. Both the Rivers Lune and Wyre have a high conservation value.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
