- Abstract:
- The project seeks to develop generic understanding and modelling methods to assist in the development of best practice in upland environments. It seeks to develop an integrated modelling strategy to allow the consequences of a range of upland management decisions to be assessed in terms of a range of potential impacts. Specifically the research seeks to couple a distributed hydrological model for hillslopes, a ID routing model for the channel network, a 2D model of floodplain inundation, a sediment transfer model and a water quality model. The aim of doing this is to allow the effects of changes in catchment hydrological controls (e.g. land management) upon the management of sediment transfer, floods and water quality to be assessed. The model will be applied and tested in the Upper Wharfe, UK.
