Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").

  • Results for Each Water Company
    EA-Water EA-Water Resources! REVIEW OF WATER COMPANY YIELDS APPENDIX 2 - RESULTS FOR EACH WATER COMPANY M ARCH 1998 Introduction This appendix contains the detailed deployable output results for each water company. The appendix is arranged by Environment Agency Region. Each Regional grouping contains an Agency aquifer sustainability map, followed by detailed results for each company, consisting of an Agency commentary, a resource zone map and the breakdown of the results. Groundwater unit assessment The Agency has reviewed each of the aquifer units in England and Wales to establish whether: • long term reductions in groundwater levels are occurring, and whether • adequate water resources have been reserved for river and other environmental needs. A simple "water accountancy" procedure has been used considering factors such as the natural recharge to the aquifer, the quantity taken by existing licensed abstractions and the environmental requirement for water, primarily for river flows. The procedure allows each aquifer unit to be placed into one of the three categories defined as follows: Category 1 no overall sustainability concerns Category 2 at sustainable limit Category 3 sustainability concerns This is a generalised approach; the nature of the method means that it is not definitive and more work would be needed to ascertain the environmental needs of any aquifer unit that has been placed in Category 3. Similarly, the overall balance of an aquifer unit may place it in Category 1, but there may be site specific problems associated with particular abstractions.
