Much Wenlock Flooding / Development In June 2007 60 houses were flooded in Much Wenlock and many others were at risk. Why did the flooding occur? GA
Decision Making Exercise: Affordable housing • • Sally (24) was born in Much Wenlock. She wants to buy her first house Few 'affordable' homes Proposal to build 12 'affordable' 3 -bedroomed houses – greenfield site at the Sytche, – outside the development area. • Should the development be approved?
Roles STUDENT At the local secondary school Lived whole life in MW AFFORD the developer Views about the town Lives locally Affordable houses needed Houses likely to remain affordable for ever ELDER a retired resident Retired to the town from Birmingham Views about the town COUNCILLOR Lived in MW whole life MW needs to develop to survive • FLOOD the mill owner Been flooded several times Worries about heavy rain storms
When will Much Wenlock flood? Fill in the missing values What are the UK records? 5 minutes What time of year is the most risky? Spring Summer Autumn mm Preston August 1893 90 minutes 117 mm Lancashire August 1967 48 hours mm Much Wenlock 24/5 June 2007 30 minutes 80 mm Dumfries June 1953 60 minutes mm Berkshire July 1901 180 minutes 178 mm Winter 24 hours mm (Dorset July 1955) Cumbria November 2009 Lincolnshire October 1960 120 minutes 155 mm Yorkshire May 1989 155 minutes 169 mm London August 1975
When will Much Wenlock flood? Did Much Wenlock get a lot of rain? Yes but nowhere When it rains a lot! 5 minutes 32 mm Preston August 1893 near the records What would happen if we had one of these storms? 90 minutes 117 mm Lancashire August 1967 24 hours (279 mm) 314 mm (Dorset July 1955) Cumbria November 2009 48 hours 79. 2 mm 30 minutes 80 mm Dumfries June 1953 Much Wenlock 24/5 60 minutes June 2007 92 mm Berkshire July 1901 180 minutes 178 mm Lincolnshire October 1960 120 minutes 155 mm Yorkshire May 1989 155 minutes 169 mm London August 1975
What happens in a storm event In Much Wenlock? 120 sq metres of development. This equates to 110 - 120 litres of water per mm of rain. Previously you had 78 litres of water. When it was just grass land! Storm drains now carry an extra 3242 litres of water. Water runs into the river very quickly
Developing Wenlock! 1903 2009 Growth and infill now equates to a 300% increase in urbanisation and run off (and this has not yet stopped). When was the storm water capability last increased?
Fieldwork Experience • Overall the fieldwork was extremely useful. It gave me an opportunity to get some practice on how fieldwork can be run and this will be invaluable in the future. Skills Learnt • I have learnt what type of activities are suitable for different locations and human/physical geography. I have also learnt how to successfully run a fieldwork day and keep the pupils busy and interested. The importance of visiting a site prior to field work was also a key thing learnt through the fieldwork. Lastly I have learnt the key things that need to be considered prior to running fieldwork that are often forgotten, such as toilet stops, lunch sites and back up plans. • When I have to run fieldwork of my own in future I will feel a lot more confident about how to organise it. I will also have a lot of ideas about how worksheets can be used successfully to gather important information.
Organisation Prior Knowledge • I feel like the Monday we had to explore the different sites was extremely important. It gave us time to prepare and to organise for the following day. I also like that fact that everyone worked together to build activities and successful ideas for each site. Improvements • On the school form, information concerning their outcomes from the fieldtrip would have been useful, e. g. when going to Much Wenlock/Farley Brook prior knowledge was needed as to whether the school wanted to focus on either site more. This affected the planning for the next day.
