The present publication is the 18th in the new paperback series which provides the information on rainfall over the United Kingdom that was formerly given in Part 1 of British Rainfall. It gives monthly and annual totals of rainfall and, where available, the rainfall on the wettest day of the year by amount and date(s). Station details 2. The publication includes for each station its 'Rainfall Station Number' (previously known as its 'Hydrometric Station Number'): this is the reference used by the Meteorological Office to identify the station's rainfall data. 3. The county in which the rain-gauge is located is given by the 'County Number'. The counties in this volume are those which came into existence after the 1974 reorganization of Local Government in England and Wales, and after the 1975 reorganization in Scotland. The new county number, Ccc, comprises C the country and cc the county within the country. In Wales the county of Powys has been divided into two parts, north and south, each given a separate county number: this is to maintain a link with the 'districts' adopted by the Meteorological Office in its Monthly Weather Report. In the London area, all stations within administrative authorities bearing the name 'London Borough of...' are shown within the county of Greater London. In Scotland the reorganization introduced Regional Council areas but, as the former county names are still largely used, the county numbering system adopted by the Meteorological Office serves the dual purpose of identifying both Regional Council and old county areas, and the three-figure county number may be regarded as being CRc, where C is the country number, R is the Regional Council number and c is the county number within the Region. (Where c is 6 or greater, the old county has been divided between two Regional Councils and the two parts are separately identified.) A complete decode of the system is given on pages x-xi. 4. The location of the rain-gauge sites is given by National Grid Reference to the nearest 100 metres, and the altitude of the rain-gauge site above mean sea level is given to the nearest metre. 5. The name of the rainfall station is that used by the Meteorological Office under rules which require that the primary name should normally appear on the 1-inch Ordnance Survey map and/or its 1:50 000 metric successor. Where stations exist on islands, the island name is given in capital letters as the first part of the name. Where it is desirable to identify the location beyond the name of the town, village, etc., a supplementary part of the name appears after a comma. In a decreasing number of cases it is desirable to retain the name under which data were published in British Rainfall (prior to 1969): thus there will remain some instances where longer-term station names do not adhere to these rules and the names may not in fact appear on current Ordnance Survey maps. Abbreviations or initials are used only in forms that are readily identifiable, although there are rules applicable to certain standard abbreviations, such as S. Wks = Sewage Works (or Sewage Treatment Works), P. Sta. = Pumping Station, Resr = Reservoir, Met. Office = Meteorological Office (where the term applies only to sites manned by personnel of the Meteorological Office or at Royal Naval Air Stations by personnel of the Directorate of Naval Oceanography and Meteorology). A full list of abbreviations used is given on page ii. 6. The average annual rainfall at stations for the latest reference period, 1941-70, is given in as many cases as possible. Estimated averages are not included. Representative figures (Table B) forthe monthly and annual rainfall of 1986 in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man are given as percentages of the longer-period averages (1941-70) in Tables C and D. Rivers and streams 7. The publication follows earlier practice in that it endeavours to associate rain-gauges with particular catchments and accordingly names the associated rivers and streams. 8. It is not practicable to identify every stream in the country and some minor features have necessarily been ignored. However, in general, a stream is separately identified if it is more than four miles long and has, or has had, a number of rainfall stations within its catchment. 9. As with station names, a number of subjective decisions have had to be taken. The name of the river or stream not uncommonly changes throughout its course: a stream which enters and leaves a lake may thereby acquire a new name. In general, such rivers are identified by the name in use at the lowest reaches, that at the mouth or that at the confluence with a larger river to which it is a tributary. Water authorities and hydrometric areas 10. The water industry was also reorganized in England and Wales in April 1974 when the many 'River Authorities' were replaced by ten larger regional 'Water Authorities'; similarly, in 1975 there were changes in Scotland resulting in fewer 'River Purification Boards' each covering larger geographical areas. 11. As the administrative structure within Water Authorites does not necessarily follow hydrological boundaries, and is in any case subject to revision from time to time, it is not practicable to publish the rainfall data under sub-headings related to (say) Water Authority Divisions. Accordingly, the data are now published within 'Hydrometric Area' groupings and maps showing the relationship between these Hydrometric Areas and the various water authorities across the United Kingdom are included in pages xviii and ix. The Hydrometric Area numbers used in this volume are those in use at the date of printing, and are not necessarily those in use in 1986. Data 12. Rainfall data are still published in strict numerical order of Rainfall Station Number. The 1974/75 reorganization of the water authorities cut across the hydrologically determined station numbering system adopted by the Meteorological Office in 1961 and to maintain the publication of data in numerical order it has been necessary in some instances to subdivide water authority headings into Part 1, Part 2 and so on. 13. The unit of rainfall amount that is used is the millimetre (mm). Monthly and annual totals are the summation of daily and monthly totals in that unit. If for any station or any period the unit of measurement was the inch, the daily data have been converted to millimetres prior to totalling. 14. The data from each station have been subjected to the routine quality-control procedure in operation by the Meteorological Office at the time of data receipt. Any corrections or adjustments have been incorporated in the figures now presented.

    N f\A - S oo-Ha (jO$*\z'3'Z2 Environmental Protection Final Draft Report RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND May 1993 Water Quality Technical Note FWS/93/005 Author: R J Broome Freshwater Scientist NRA CV.M. Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

    BOUGHTON & DUNKIRK NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN BACKGROUND DOCUMENT BD10 LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREAS BOUGHTON & DUNKIRK NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN BACKGROUND DOCUMENT BD10 LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREAS DRAFT As part of the preparatory work for the Neighbourhood Plan, the team took a hard look at the area, seeking to identify and understand the important elements of the local landscape - natural features and the farming scene, as well as streets and buildings. We took into account earlier work for the Local Plan, some of which is included as Background Document 9. For purposes of the analysis, ten “character areas” were identified, as shown on this map 2 CHARACTER AREA 1 BOUGHTON FRUIT BELT NORTH DRAFT LANDSCAPE SUMMARY: This is largely the valley area lying between Boughton and Staplestreet, lying beyond Area 9, the sandy ridge immediately north of the development fronting The Street. It is largely undeveloped, except for the complex of buildings around Nash Court, and intensively farmed. The soil here is generally a mix of sand and loam with some clay. Much of the land within this area is used for hops and fruit growing, and it also includes the wide valley which separates the village from Nash Court which is an important part of the strategic gap between Boughton, Faversham and the A2 dual carriageway; this area is identified in the local plan studies as Grade 1 and Grade 2 farmland. Fruit orchards are prevalent in the eastern part of this area, which has also been identified in the local plan studies (Technical Paper 6) as an Area of High Landscape Value – Swale Level, and in addition to its own inherent qualities drew attention to its importance as the foreground setting of The Blean.
