CIRCULATION – THE NEWSLETTER OF THE BRITISH HYDROLOGICAL SOCIETY 1 The 11th BHS National Symposium held in Dundee this year, was a typical BHS ‘do’ — lots of good presentations, and a welcome chance to network in congenienal surroundings at the excellent West Park Centre. A key feature of the event was of course our Penman lecture given this year by Keith Beven on “Here we have a system in which liquid water is moving; let’s just get at the physics of it” (Penman 1965). A paper based on the Keith’s ecture will be included in a Special Issue of Hydrology Research which will comprise extended and enhanced versions of about a dozen of the Symposium Proceedings papers. This SI is being Guest Edited by Andrew Black and should be published in online preview mode by August 2013. The Dundee weather wasn’t too kind to us but this did not daunt delegates from enjoying the reception on board RRS Discovery before the Symposium Dinner. Our After Dinner speaker was Prof Paul Jowitt of Heriot-Watt University who welcomed us all to Dundee, the City of Discovery and the Dandy, Dundee Cake and the Dundee Courier. The six great J’s of Dundee, he said, are “Jam, Jute, Journalism .........Jinneering, Jenetics .....and the reason we’re all here tonight: the Jeneralised Unit Hydrograph....” Paul gave a great speech, too long to reproduce in full here, but we’ve taken the liberty of pulling out some of the plums, as follows: “Hydrology is in the news. 2012 is not only the year of the 11th National Symposium, but 2012 seems like the year of hydrology. Hydrologists on the TV at every meteorological and hydrological turn - droughts, floods, leakage the only thing that’s missing is pestilence. The BHS has come a long way since Exeter in 1982 and the IAHS Exeter Symposium on the Optimal Allocation of Water Resources. Someone organised a side event to see whether there was a need for a UK-wide hydrological society. Of course, Scotland had one already, the Scottish Hydrology Group. There were about 200 attendees at the Exeter Symposium, and there are at least 400 people who have claimed to have been at the meeting which conceived BHS.

  • Battle for the Floodplains
    Battle for the Floodplains: An Institutional Analysis of Water Management and Spatial Planning in England Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Karen Michelle Potter September 2012 Abstract Dramatic flood events witnessed from the turn of the century have renewed political attention and, it is believed, created new opportunities for the restoration of functional floodplains to alleviate the impact of flooding on urban development. For centuries, rural and urban landowning interests have dominated floodplains and water management in England, through a ‘hegemonic discourse alliance’ on land use development and flood defence. More recently, the use of structural flood defences has been attributed to the exacerbation of flood risk in towns and cities, and we are warned if water managers proceeded with ‘business as usual’ traditional scenarios, this century is predicted to see increased severe inconveniences at best and human catastrophes at worst. The novel, sustainable and integrated policy response is highly dependent upon the planning system, heavily implicated in the loss of floodplains in the past, in finding the land for restoring functioning floodplains. Planners are urged to take this as a golden opportunity to make homes and businesses safer from flood risk, but also to create an environment with green spaces and richer habitats for wildlife. Despite supportive changes in policy, there are few urban floodplain restoration schemes being implemented in practice in England, we remain entrenched in the engineered flood defence approach and the planner’s response is deemed inadequate. The key question is whether new discourses and policy instruments on sustainable, integrated water management can be put into practice, or whether they will remain ‘lip-service’ and cannot be implemented after all.

    New Zealand Hydrological Society: the first 50 years, 1961-2011 with reports on New Zealand hydrology through the ages Compiler: Lindsay Rowe Preface President’s Introduction Joseph Thomas November 2011 It is my privilege to be able to contribute this introduction to this publication to celebrate the 50 year milestone of the New Zealand Hydrological Society. A tremendous amount of work has gone in over the last few years on this endeavour. I would like to acknowledge and compliment Lindsay Rowe on the work in contributing to this, as well as co- ordinating the other contributing authors. A word of thanks also to all the contributing authors, as this would not be possible without you. The Society can be proud of its achievements over the last 50 years. Our Journal has endured and is a valued publication of the Society. The Society has grown significantly since it was founded, with now close to a total of 600 members in various membership categories. The Society continues to actively promote its mission to ‘further the science of hydrology and its application to the understanding and management of New Zealand’s water resources’. Our other publication, the newsletter Current, continues to be published twice yearly and keeps our membership informed of various issues and happenings in areas of hydrology. Publication of the journal and Current could not be possible without the dedicated efforts of our editor and also the efforts of the contributors. I would like to acknowledge all the editors of the Society from its inception – Pat Grant, Dave Murray, Alistair McKerchar, Tim Davies, Bob Spigel, Mike Stewart, Rick Jackson, Paul Mosley and our current editor Richard Hawke for the efforts – thank you! A special acknowledgment and thank you is extended to Eileen McSaveney, the Society’s Assistant Editor since 1979.

    Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 5(1), 1-12 Dalton (2001) Lecture: © EGS How far can we go in distributed hydrological modelling? The Dalton Lecture THE 2001 EGS DALTON MEDAL WAS AWARDED TO KEITH JOHN BEVEN FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES AND HYDROLOGICAL MODELLING How far can we go in distributed hydrological modelling? Keith Beven* Lancaster University Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper considers distributed hydrological models in hydrology as an expression of a pragmatic realism. Some of the problems of distributed modelling are discussed including the problem of nonlinearity, the problem of scale, the problem of equifinality, the problem of uniqueness and the problem of uncertainty. A structure for the application of distributed modelling is suggested based on an uncertain or fuzzy landscape space to model space mapping. This is suggested as the basis for an Alternative Blueprint for distributed modelling in the form of an application methodology. This Alternative Blueprint is scientific in that it allows for the formulation of testable hypotheses. It focuses attention on the prior evaluation of models in terms of physical realism and on the value of data in model rejection. Finally, some unresolved questions that distributed modelling must address in the future are outlined, together with a vision for distributed modelling as a means of learning about places. Realism in the face of adversity could be used; even then, on the computers available, it It is almost 30 years since I wrote my first distributed proved difficult to perform simulations that took less hydrological model for my PhD thesis, following the Freeze computer time than real time simulated.

Three-round literature review technique was used to study journal papers published that are related to the hydrological modelling. The published papers were searched by using Web of Sciences engine. The first and second round were to examine the published papers as a general perspective in a wide range of hydrological modelling through title and keywords whereas the third round was to establish 139 papers as target publications through abstract and main texts. 139 target papers were analyzed in terms of (1) journals that produced two or more target papers, (2) research origin, (3) authors, (4) research center and (5) most cited papers. The score matric was used to rank these items. The results of analysis produced (1) 6 journals target papers, (2) United states got the highest score with 27.71 score for research origin, (3) Keith Beven got the highest score 8.03 for an active researcher, (4) Lancaster University got the highest score 9.93 for research center and (5) Keith Beven and Andrew Binley had the most cited papers.
