Data Summary

Provided by Environment Agency

• FEH (Flood Estimation Handbook) Data: Contains DDF (Depth-Duration-Frequency of rainfall) data for the catchment area output from a nationwide model. This may be more useful in checking against any model we output rather than as an input. DDF explanation https://opw.hydronet.com/data/files/Work%20Package1_2%20Final%20Report.pdf (pretty dry)
• Wiski Data: Rainfall and flow data - Real measurement local data but very limited number of stations which poorly represents variability across catchment. Also some missing data due to sensor mishaps. Live river level monitoring at https://riverlevels.uk/river-stour-warks-shipston-on-stour-shipston#.X4c36NBKhPY
• Asset Data: Heavily skewed toward leaky barriers and very subjective quantification of mitigation impacts (i.e. approximate water volume defences can restrain). Indicates late take-up of natural mitigation which should allow a long time period for baseline (no mitigation) data, however may result in difficulty assessing impact due to short time-period since mitigation.
