Mitigating floods and attenuating surface runoff with temporary storage areas in headwaters

Martyn T. Roberts et al.

Summary: Temporary storage areas (TSAs) are nature-based solutions that can store and attenuate surface runoff, providing additional storage during flood events in a catchment. The implementation of small-scale TSAs in headwater catchments is gaining momentum, but further evidence is needed on their effectiveness during flood events. This review examines the role of small-scale TSAs in flood risk management and explores their potential benefits in integrated catchment management. Factors influencing TSA functioning and effectiveness are discussed, along with considerations for future design and management.

Evaluation of Monitored Erosion Events in the Context of Characteristics of Source Areas in Czech Conditions

Michal Gebhart et al.

Summary: Nationwide monitoring of erosion on agricultural land has been conducted in the Czech Republic since 2012, resulting in the recording of over 2,300 erosion events. This study examines the relationships between erosion manifestation and the characteristics of erosion enclosed areas (EEAs). Maize, rapeseed, potatoes, and sugar beets are the most frequently grown crops during erosion events. The distribution of affected EEAs in terms of soil susceptibility, drainage systems, and contributing areas is bimodal, with a higher percentage of low susceptibility and hydrologic soil group B dominating.

Assessing the role of location and scale of Nature Based Solutions for the enhancement of low flows

Jessica Fennell et al.

Summary: Water resources management during drought is a global challenge, especially for upland areas. Nature Based Solutions (NBS) such as Runoff Attenuation Features (RAFs) could offer an alternative to traditional hard-engineering. This study used models to evaluate different scenarios with RAFs and found that they can enhance water availability during drought periods.

Impacts of land consolidation on land degradation: A systematic review

Kristina Janeckova Molnarova et al.

Summary: Land consolidation is a common form of rural planning and is seen as an important tool for mitigating land degradation. However, there is a dichotomy in the understanding of land consolidation, with projects in different regions having different objectives and approaches. The effects of land consolidation on land degradation vary depending on the specific project, with projects including land management measures showing positive effects.

Droughts can reduce the nitrogen retention capacity of catchments

Carolin Winter et al.

Summary: In 2018-2019, Central Europe experienced an unprecedented 2-year drought with severe impacts on society and ecosystems. This study analyzed the impact of this drought on water quality, finding a drought-induced shift in concentration-discharge relationships and an increase in nitrate loads. The study also revealed that severe droughts can reduce the nitrogen retention capacity of catchments, intensifying nitrate pollution and threatening water quality.

Three reasons why the Water Framework Directive (WFD) fails to identify pesticide risks

Oliver Weisner et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the ecological impact of pesticide pollution in European water bodies is underestimated under the current monitoring methods. By using more rigorous methodologies, it was found that 39 pesticides exceeded regulatory acceptable concentrations at 81% of monitoring sites, compared to only 11 pesticides exceeding the WFD-based environmental quality standards under WFD-compliant monitoring. The study suggests practical and legal refinements to improve the monitoring and assessment strategy of the WFD in order to achieve a more realistic assessment of pesticide pollution in surface waters.

Summary: This paper conducts an ex ante evaluation of the plans for the third iteration of the WFD management cycle in the Netherlands and other EU Member States. The study finds that while the majority of water authorities expect to achieve 50% or more of the WFD objectives by 2027, there are still hindering factors that may prevent the ecological ambitions from being met.

Changes in Weather-Related Fatalities in the Czech Republic during the 1961-2020 Period

Rudolf Brazdil et al.

Summary: Fatalities associated with severe weather in the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2020 were analyzed using a database created from newspapers and documentary sources. The study found an increase in fatalities caused by floods, windstorms, and frost, while fatalities from convective storms and fog decreased between two standard periods. Winter months and certain demographic characteristics, such as males and adults, were associated with higher proportions of fatalities. Statistically significant correlations were observed between fatalities and climate variables, particularly for snow/glaze ice-related fatalities.

Julie Winterova et al.

Summary: The article discusses the changes in the Czech landscape over the past 100 years and the issue of reservoir siltation. Using simulations to analyze water erosion and sediment transport, it found that changes in crops and land fragmentation are important factors leading to increased sedimentation rates. It also emphasizes the importance of green areas within arable lands.

Mitigation of Flood Risks with the Aid of the Critical Points Method

Karel Drbal et al.

Summary: Concentrated surface run-off caused by soil erosion processes can result in flood risks, and it is crucial to identify critical points and implement suitable strategies for threat mitigation. These critical points are determined by the intersection of generated surface run-off paths and boundaries of built-up areas. Evaluation of flood risk requires consideration of various characteristics and can be controlled through preventive measures and improved management.

Summary: A new approach for sites prioritization and designing measures on land drainage was developed and tested, aiming to reduce water pollution and increase water retention and storage. The approach includes selecting suitable sites, obtaining information on land drainage, conducting field surveys, designing measures, and analyzing costs. Implementation of these measures would significantly reduce water pollution and improve the condition of intensively drained agricultural landscapes.

Management effectiveness in a freshwater protected area: Long-term water quality response to catchment-scale land use changes

Linda R. Staponites et al.

Summary: As the threat to freshwater environments increases, the need for effective protection becomes more urgent. This study evaluates the connection between management actions and water quality in a freshwater protected area over the past three decades. The results show that converting croplands to grasslands is three times more effective at reducing nitrate concentrations compared to other factors. These findings provide valuable insights into how land use changes can impact water quality and help guide conservation strategies.

Is water quality in British rivers better than at any time since the end of the Industrial Revolution?

M. J. Whelan et al.

Summary: The study explored the claim that river water quality in Great Britain is better now than at any time since the Industrial Revolution. Data and evidence were reviewed for seven categories of water pollutants. The findings suggest that water quality in many rivers downstream of urban centers has improved in sanitary terms, but emerging contaminants and intensive agriculture remain significant challenges. Better identification and prioritization of multiple stressors are needed to enable continued recovery.

Location Matters: A Framework to Investigate the Spatial Characteristics of Distributed Flood Attenuation

Federico Antolini et al.

Summary: Distributed attenuation in flood management utilizes small and low-impact features distributed within a catchment, such as reservoir systems, natural flood management, and green infrastructure. The effectiveness of these features in reducing and slowing runoff at strategic points within the catchment is crucial in desynchronizing flows. The spatial distribution of these features plays a key role in impacting flood magnitudes at the catchment scale.
