Groundwater systems provide an important source of water supply as well contributing baseflow to rivers, lakes and dependent ecosystems so the impact climate change on these needs be understood. Calculating recharge groundwater is, therefore, necessary quantify what is typically one largest components balance. This study uses national-scale model developed for British mainland 11 ensemble members from Hadley Centre rainfall potential evaporation created by Future Flows Levels (FFGWL) project...
Uncertainty in capturing the effects of riparian tree shade for assessment algal growth rates and water temperature hinders predictive capability models applied river basin management. Using photogrammetry-derived canopy data, we quantified hourly along River Thames (UK) used it to estimate reduction amount direct radiation reaching surface. In addition tested suitability freely-available LIDAR data map ground elevation. Following removal buildings objects other than trees from dataset,...
The UK Climate Change Act requires the Environment Agency to report risks it faces from climate change and actions taken address these. Derived information projections is critical understanding likely impacts in water management. In 2019, published an ensemble of high-resolution model simulations. UKCP Local (2.2 km) can resolve smaller scale physical processes that determine rainfall other variables at subdaily time-scales with potential provide new insights into extreme events, storm...
Accurate modelling of changes in freshwater supplies is critical an era increasing human demand, and land use climate. However, there are concerns that current landscape-scale models do not sufficiently capture catchment-level changes, whilst large-scale comparisons empirical simulated water yield lacking. Here we modelled annual two time periods (1: 1985-1994 2: 2008-2017) across 81 catchments England validated against data. Our objectives were to i) investigate whether absolute or relative...
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have proved useful in remote sensing studies of deserts, enabling different surfaces to be discriminated by differences roughness properties. Roughness is characterized SAR backscatter models using the standard deviation surface heights (σ), correlation length (L) and autocorrelation function (ρ(ξ)). Previous research has suggested that these parameters are limited use for characterizing roughness, often unreliable due collection too few profiles, or...
This paper describes development of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) techniques for spatially distributed measurement soil moisture. Traditional are limited; most significantly they time consuming, invasive and destructive techniques. Measurement with GPR is non-invasive rapid. investigates the relationship between a number properties signal Volumetric Moisture Content (VMC). Using series controlled laboratory experiments two reliable methods were found to be amplitude spectra approaches....
As part of a study using GPR to quantitatively determine Volumetric Moisture Content (VMC) spatially for hillslope hydrology and water leak detection applications, series controlled laboratory experiments were conducted investigate material-specific response different VMC conditions. Using specially developed GPR-soil test facility, six materials tested with incremented moisture from dry saturation. A number directly derived trace parameters acquired Reflection Profiling Mode used develop...
Loss of water from urban supplies is becoming an increasingly significant problem. Standard procedures for identifying and repairing a mains leak can be time- consuming, disruptive expensive. In association with Thames Water Utilities Ltd. the potential GPR to accurately efficiently detect leaks has been investigated. The approach adopted here measure subsurface moisture conditions using this locate source leak. Common Mid-point velocity analyses measurement cannot used since they are...
