Editor's Notes

  1. Emphasise flow control and engineering works – influence on this trend.
  2. Sewage treatment work reform – Roding example. Importance of replacement of flow back into rivers – cf sewage effluent – impact of WQ measures – abstraction without replacement
  3. Naturalised low flow show correction for abstractions – much more uniform pictrure, and more in line with summer rainfall trends.
  4. Drought experience: in general, exceptional ability to manage drought episodes. Reservoir and aquifer recharge crucial
  5. BUT 2004- 06 drought showed effect of 2x dry winters in succession.
  6. Recent record contains few protracted droughts
