CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY AND MODELLING

FLOW FORECASTING SIMULATION USING PDM

FLOOD HYDROLOGY FOR NON-SPECIALISTS

Overview This course, which covers the theory and application of the Probability Distributed Moisture rainfall-runoff model (PDM), concentrates on applications of the PDM in real time flood forecasting, and the principles of the PDM and how it can be applied effectively for flood forecasting. Lessons and exercises are based on the theory of the PDM as published by its original authors at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH). The course includes handson use of a version of the PDM model developed by JBA. The course material is therefore applicable to the PDM as deployed within the Environment Agency’s National Flood Forecasting System (NFFS).

Overview This two day course is an introduction to hydrological processes involved when river flows are high. It assumes little previous knowledge of hydrology. The purpose is to introduce some of the standard techniques used when carrying out flood design studies but in the context of the flow processes involved so that some understanding of the limitations, as well as the strengths, of these techniques will be developed. The course covers the main methods within the FEH but excludes more specialised topics such as application to small, urban or permeable catchments. These topics, together with more exercises and case studies, are covered in JBA’s two day Flood Estimation Handbook course.

Who should attend

Flood forecasting specialists, hydrologists or engineers with an interest in continuous rainfall-runoff modelling. The course is technically rigorous, although it is not necessary to have prior experience with the PDM.

Design engineers, modellers from consultancies involved in flood risk management, highway and urban drainage designers, development control and consenting officers. Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

Delegates will gain expertise in calibration of the PDM with an emphasis on real time flow forecasting applications, backed up by theoretical understanding of the model structure and parameters.

ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS FOR WATER LEVEL MANAGEMENT Overview Almost all land drainage improvement works undertaken by drainage bodies are “permitted development” under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 and therefore exempt from planning permission. Since such works might have significant effects on the environment, the principles of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) need to be applied to them. This is done through the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement) Regulations 1999 (as amended).

FUNDAMENTALS OF HYDROECOLOGY

Overview Hydroecology is the study of the interaction of water and ecology. In fluvial systems, a key driver of the nature of a given aquatic community is the physical habitat available resulting from the interaction of river flow and geomorphology. This is complex as it varies both spatially and temporally, but an understanding of these interactions is fundamental to both improving and preventing deterioration of river ecosystems.

This course considers the EIA process in the context of land drainage/flood risk management works. It explains the processes and procedures involved, and uses a number of case studies to illustrate EIA in practice.

Who should attend Anybody interested in developing their knowledge of hydroecology, in particular those involved in river restoration, abstraction consenting, WFD assessment or any type of instream works, in either the public, private or third sector.

Who should attend

Learning outcomes

This course is aimed at those working in the land drainage/flood risk management sector that require an understanding of how the EIA Regulations apply to them, the processes involved and the constraints it may impose on their activities. Learning outcomes By the end of the course, participants will have an understanding of how the EIA Regulations apply to land drainage/flood risk management works and be able to identify when an EIA is required.

• • •

Understanding of the fundamental relationships between flow and ecology Understanding of the sensitivity of ecology to flow Knowledge of the tools for understanding hydroecological processes and hydroecological change

ECONOMIC APPRAISAL IN FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT

FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT

Overview As the majority of flood risk management projects are funded by public expenditure, it is essential for spending to be prioritised and auditable. Project appraisal is a process of identification, quantification and evaluation. Economic appraisal is central to this process as it is a method of assessment that produces easy to communicate results that aid decision makers by allowing comparisons to be drawn between differing investment options. All flood management and drainage authorities, such as Internal Drainage Boards, Local Authorities, and the Environment Agency, determine their flood management spending within a framework of rules laid down by HM Treasury and published in ‘The Green Book’. At the heart of this is Benefit-Cost Assessment.

Overview The course gives an introductory overview of current planning policy and regulatory background behind flood risk assessment and surface water drainage (including the requirements of the Sequential and Exception Tests and Sustainable Drainage Systems). This course outlines the requirements for Flood Risk Assessments at a site specific scale for individual sites and is aimed at those undertaking studies for proposed developments. Reference will be made to the relevance of Strategic Flood Risk Assessments and Catchment Flood Management Plans. The course does not include detailed training on hydrological assessment, hydraulic modelling, or the design of SuDS, please see ‘Related courses’.

Who should attend

The course is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of economic assessment issues, terminology and methodologies. There will be an opportunity during the course for delegates to practice carrying out a benefit-cost assessment using case studies. Typically the course will suit project managers, engineers, planners, and operations staff working within flood management authorities.

The course is designed for professionals carrying out Flood Risk Assessments. It is also relevant to managers and regulators involved in reviewing and approving FRAs.

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes To give an overview of current planning policy and the regulatory background behind the need for FRAs and surface water drainage, the scope, content and purpose of FRAs and the methodologies within these studies.

Following the course delegates should be able to: • Understand current guidance relating to economic appraisal • Undertake flood damage calculations using MCM data • Understand the process of assessing benefits and costs as part of the Benefit-Cost Assessment • Be familiar with levels of detail required for specific studies • Understand implications of key variables on costs/benefits • Be familiar with standardised FCERM-AG spreadsheets • Understand the decision making process • Be able to critically review economic appraisals

FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT AND MODEL AUDIT REVIEW

FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN SCOTLAND

Overview

Overview A two day course covering the latest legislation including the 2009 Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act and the Scottish Planning Policy SPP Planning and Flooding Guidance.

Computer models are now almost universally used to provide information on flood levels, flood extents and hydraulic capacity. The range of models is wide from simple ‘shareware’ programs to very complex integrated packages. This course provides a guide to the various generic model types and their capabilities and limitations. This knowledge is then used to show how to review the appropriateness of a particular modelling approach and the corresponding outputs and to assess whether the results are likely to be suitable. Who should attend

The course highlights the responsibilities of key stakeholders including the Scottish Government, SEPA, local authorities, developers and land owners. It will concentrate on the practical implications of the legislation and guidance, what it means in terms of cost and resource requirements, and how stakeholders need to respond.

FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION TO WASTEWATER SYSTEMS

LAND DRAINAGE LAW IN ENGLAND AND/OR WALES

Overview Our urban way of life depends upon wastewater systems to remove wastewater and in many cases surface water from our cities, yet in the developed world this is often reliant upon systems designed well over 100 years ago. The water industry’s regulators require economically efficient wastewater management that minimises the environmental impacts. Customers want efficient services which do not flood their homes. With ever increasing demands on wastewater systems (climate change, population growth and creep, new hygiene products, Water Framework Directive, carbon accounting etc) the need to understand and manage these systems has never been greater.

Overview Responsibilities for land drainage relate to the rights of riparian owners and the powers of drainage bodies. Riparian owner rights are largely dictated by common law and are underpinned by case studies, while the powers of drainage bodies are set out in statute. Land drainage legislation was first enacted in 1531 and has since been amended through a series of primary and secondary legislation. As a result Land Drainage Law is complex and often misunderstood.

This course provides an overview of the nature and development of wastewater systems, the assets and sources of flow, and of current practices for planning operational and capital investment. Who should attend This course is aimed at people with some or limited experience of wastewater systems, who want a general overview of the components of wastewater systems, how new systems are designed and operated, their impacts and how water companies plan the upgrade of their systems. Learning outcomes By the end of the course, delegates will obtain a general overview of the assets that constitute wastewater systems, how these systems can fail leading to impact on society and the environment, and how systems are managed. Trainer

The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 introduced significant changes to the way in which flooding and land drainage issues are addressed in England and Wales. It underpins a new risk management approach, clarifies roles and responsibilities and establishes an organisational framework. Who should attend Any non-legal professional dealing with the day-to-day management and development of land with land drainage concerns. Typical attendees will be professionals such as engineers, planners and policy staff working with land drainage authorities, developers and their agents, land managers, etc. A legal background is not required. Course objectives To provide an overview and understanding of the current legislation relating to land drainage in England and/or Wales. The general philosophy behind the course is to provide: • A clear understanding of the current legislation • Practical advice on the rights, powers and duties that ensue from case law, common law and legislation • Direction to available information sources

New User’s Manuals and Help System

Overview HEC-RAS was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers at the Hydrological Engineering Center. It is an integrated system of hydraulic modelling software designed for the 1D hydraulic analysis of open channels, bridges and culverts. The software allows the simulation of flow in a variety of standard or userdefined channels. The program will resolve both subcritical, supercritical and mixed flow regimes and models both branched (dendritic) and looped channel networks. The system comprises a Graphical User Interface (GUI) steady and unsteady hydraulic analysis components, data storage and management capabilities, graphics and reporting facilities. HEC-RAS replaces the widely used programs HEC-2 and UNET. Version 4.1 includes both steady and unsteady flow modules.

Maintenance Prices include 12 months’ maintenance. 12 months’ technical support is also available for £250 per licence. CD-ROM includes HEC-RAS Software (v4.1)

Capabilities The general data formats of the two computational modules are identical and it is possible to use the same system geometry for a steady or unsteady simulation. The software is capable of modelling the following hydraulic features:
