WWNP Runoff Attenuation Features 1% AEP

Description

This dataset has been produced as part of the Mapping Potential for Working with Natural Processes research project (SC150005). The project created a toolbox of mapped data and methods which enable operational staff in England to identify potential locations for Working with Natural Processes (WWNP). Data has been produced for each intervention covered by the project. The final outputs include the following datasets: • Floodplain Woodland Planting Potential • Riparian Woodland Planting Potential • Wider Catchment Woodland • Floodplain Reconnection Potential • Runoff Attenuation Features 3.3% AEP • Runoff Attenuation Features 1% AEP • Woodland Constraints Runoff Attenuation Features Potential is our best estimate of locations of high flow accumulation across the land surface or in smaller channels, where it may be possible to temporarily store water and attenuate flooding during high flows. The dataset is designed to support signposting of areas where to target enhanced storage. It is based upon the Risk of Flooding from Surface Water datasets and identifies areas of high flow accumulations for the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability surface water maps. The areas of ponding or accumulation are between 100 and 5000 metres squared, and have been tagged where they fall on an area of slope steeper than 6% as gully blocking opportunities. All the potential areas have been constrained so that they are not in urban areas or on roads, rails or canals. The data does not does not provide information on design, which may need to consider issues such as drain-down between flood events. It is important to note that land ownership and change to flood risk have not been considered. Locations identified may have more recent building or land use than available.
