2 Author s Notes Slide Note 2 So why I are we carrying out such work? Well there is growing concern that modern agricultural practises in the UK may be causing a reduction in soil water storage capacity and infiltration rate leading to rapid runoff of water into streams and ditches. as part of the DEFRA/EA flood and coastal defence R&D programme A comprehensive report undertaken to review the impacts of rural land use and management on flood generation highlighted the inadequacies of available data sources particularly regarding upland land use on flood generation. Not only that, but it also reported that most work to date had focused on plot scale impacts whereas understanding the impact at the hillslope and catchment scale is crucial for flood risk management. 14 Now I would like to present data that shows the observed runoff response from the bowl study site. 16 We took measurements in the both the A and B horizons under the improved pasture and adjacent trees area soils. Graph shows values from zero to -100 cm H20 i.e. between saturation and field capacity. We can see that, in the A horizon, saturated moisture content is higher, and there is a greater difference between the 2 extreme values, indicating that there is a greater soil water storage once the soil has drained due to gravity. 17 We also measured soil hydraulic conductivity in the TSBs and adjacent pasture and saw a significant increase (~2.5 times greater) in the trees in that of the A horizon under the trees. DTTs [dye tracer]show preferential movement of water to depth, potentially allowing the water to access deeper soil storage areas 20 I would now like to present some data that shows some observed differences in runoff between unimproved and improved grassland catchments 24 From accessed 25/11/10 The most influencial properties were found to be Base Flow Index (proportion of flow as base flow) and a Wetness Index equal to precipitation divided by potential evaporation. In their work the Base Flow Index (BFI) is estimated using the HOST system of Boorman et al. (1995). The HOST system provides estimates of Base Flow Index (BFIHOST) for each of 29 soil classes as functions of various physical soil properties: depth to gleyed layer, depth to slowly permeable layer, integrated air capacity, presence of peaty surface layer, and soil parent material. Therefore, BFIHOST is non-linearly related to soil properties, with considerable uncertainty. The variance of BFIHOST is specified for each class, representing spatial and temporal variabilities within classes.
3 Some background Concern that modern agricultural practices may be causing a reduction in soil water storage capacity and infiltration rate leading to rapid runoff of water into rivers But very little scientific evidence to support this (Source: O Connell et al., 2004)
4 Some background Have changes in agricultural land management increased flood flows? How can we predict impacts at field and catchment scale?
