Estimated FDC and Mean Flow for Ungauged Catchments
Year: 2020
The development of the original HydroTool model is described initially in this report and the statistical procedures in the updated model are presented, with a re-analysis of additional and updated data. The model generates natural flow duration curves in ungauged catchments from flows at gauged catchments of similar character, using a procedure called Region of Influence which is based on catchment descriptors.
Good practice guidance on Cumulative Effects Assessment in SEA
Year: 2020
Cumulative effects result from a combination of individual effects on a receptor. They can occur as a result of plans, programmes, projects and other actions in the past, present and the reasonably foreseeable future. They can result from impacts that may be individually insignificant, but collectively significant. Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) is the process of identifying, assessing and mitigating cumulative effects.
