CaBA citizen science and volunteer monitoring resource pack low resCaBASupport
Environmental monitoring by the voluntary sector is fundamental to the success of the Catchment-Based Approach (CaBA), helping to fill important knowledge gaps and engaging all sectors of society in identifying water management issues, and delivering solutions to protect and enhance the freshwater environment
Many catchment partnerships are developing monitoring programmes, which involve volunteers, members of the public and a wide range of community groups in collecting, reporting and analysing monitoring data. This resource pack seeks to share the experience gained by many of the partnerships by signposting useful guidance, tools, equipment and case studies. The pack also includes details of more specialist equipment and techniques for use by experts, as the most successful monitoring programmes typically combine crowd-sourced data covering large spatial areas with localised hi-spec monitoring and modelling.
The resource pack was first published in 2015 and has now been updated for 2016 with additional equipment and case studies. It is also hosted on the CaBA website where it will be updated regularly: www.catchmentbasedapproach.org/volunteer-monitoring.

Facing data sharing in a heterogeneous research community: lights and shadows...Research Data Alliance
1) RITMARE is a large, multi-institutional Italian marine research project aiming to build a data management infrastructure to facilitate sharing of data across research communities.
2) Subproject 7 of RITMARE seeks to design an IT system that enables interoperability and data exchange without forcing a single model or centralization. Efforts have included developing a data policy, collecting researcher requirements, and creating tools and services.
3) While progress has been made in establishing nodes providing access to data and metadata, uptake by researchers has been less than expected due to insufficient technical support, lack of data-related incentives, and developing a data policy after the project began rather than at the outset.
This project aims to develop cyberinfrastructure to preserve the legacy of research in Barrow, Alaska through databases and web applications. Specifically, it will:
1) Maintain and update the Barrow Area Information Database (BAID) to catalog over 9,800 research projects since 1947 and provide tools to analyze and visualize spatial data.

The workshop brought together stakeholders to discuss imagery needs, metadata, and options for an HIGICC data portal. Key functionality identified for effective portals included searchability, data previewing, delivery methods, and administrative structure. Participants discussed the HIGICC's potential role in facilitating data discovery and dissemination. Developing the portal would require defining requirements, audiences, funding sources, and administrative oversight.
In recent years governments and research institutions have emphasized the need for open data as a fundamental component of open science. But we need much more than the data themselves for them to be reusable and useful. We need descriptive and machine-readable metadata, of course, but we also need the software and the algorithms necessary to fully understand the data. We need the standards and protocols that allow us to easily read and analyze the data with the tools of our choice. We need to be able to trust the source and derivation of the data. In short, we need an interoperable data infrastructure, but it must be a flexible infrastructure able to work across myriad cultures, scales, and technologies. This talk will present a concept of infrastructure as a body of human, organisational, and machine relationships built around data. It will illustrate how a new organization, the Research Data Alliance, is working to build those relationships to enable functional data sharing and reuse.
The document discusses the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and the Federal Geospatial Coordination Committee (FGCC). It provides background on the NSDI and FGCC, outlines the FGCC's governance structure and accomplishments, and describes current FGCC activities and the strengths/weaknesses of the NSDI. The FGCC works to coordinate geospatial activities across the federal government to develop and maintain the NSDI.

PHIDIAS - Boosting the use of cloud services for marine data management, serv...Phidias
Description and scope of the Project
Phidias HPC is aimed at developing a consolidated and shared HPC and Data service by building on pre-existing and emerging infrastructure in order to create a federation of "user to infrastructure" services.
To achieve its purpose and to gain a comprehensive picture of the European infrastructure landscape, three data area tests will develop and provide new services to discover, manage and process spatial and environmental data produced by research communities tackling scientific challenges such as atmospheric, marine and earth observation issues.
Webinar: How to improve the cloud services for marine data
Observing the ocean is challenging: missions at sea are costly, different scales of processes interact, and the conditions are constantly changing, which is why scientists say that "a measurement not made today is lost forever". For these reasons, it is fundamental to properly store both the data and metadata, so that their access can be guaranteed for the widest community, in line with the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Inter-operable and Reusable.
PHIDIAS HPC has organised a webinar entitled "PHIDIAS: Boosting the use of cloud services for marine management, services and processing" to be held on 4th June 2020 at 11 AM CEST. The webinar aims to introduce the Phidias HPC initiative, in collaboration with the Blue-Cloud project, to the European HPC and Research community, specifically in the Blue economy, to improve the use of (1) cloud services for marine data management, (2) data services to the user in a FAIR perspective, and (3) data processing on demand.
These objectives will be pursued in coherence with the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS).
Presentation given by Sarah Jones and Martin Donnelly outlining the UK RDM landscape, JISC MRD programmes, and DCC initiatives.
The presentation was given at Statistics New Zealand on 28th March, ANDS webinars on 29th & 30th March and Monash University on 2nd April 2012.

Engagement is guided by principles of sustainability, community identity, evidence-based decisions, transparency, and local networks. A range of engagement methods, including workshops, events, and online platforms, facilitated the collection of over 3,000 pieces of feedback from over 800 engaged community members. The project has resulted in 3 visions and 11 action plans identifying 133 local actions, and provided £15k in grants to fund initial actions.
Natural flood management: Interventions of the futureCaBASupport
The document discusses natural flood management interventions that will be funded and implemented in the future. £15 million in funding was announced to integrate natural flood management techniques into catchment-scale projects and community-led projects. The goals are to reduce flood and coastal erosion risks, improve habitats and biodiversity, contribute to research to address evidence gaps, and promote partnership working. Challenges include properly appraising, evaluating, and monitoring the interventions over time to understand their effectiveness.

Using natural processes to reduce flood risk; experiences from Trent Rivers T...CaBASupport
The document discusses working with natural processes (WWNP) to reduce flood risk. WWNP involves managing land and rivers to slow rainfall runoff through techniques like increasing soil porosity, narrowing channels, and creating water storage. It provides flood mitigation while improving habitats. Case studies from Trent Rivers Trust demonstrate successful WWNP projects. The Trust finds WWNP interesting because it works at multiple scales, uses nature-based solutions, and partners with communities and landowners. Careful planning, maintenance considerations, and evaluating projects are important for WWNP success.
Flood proofing the future; the role of communitiesCaBASupport
National Flood Action is a charity that supports communities at risk of flooding. It helps communities come together to take control of flooding risks through various initiatives. The charity works in two stages: first bringing the community together, then partnering with communities on projects like natural flood management, developing resilience plans, and testing programs to reduce flood disadvantages. The goal is to end the fear of flooding by empowering communities to find solutions.

Next generation FCRM: opportunities for community involvement in reducing flood risk. Oliver Harmer discusses the scale of flooding challenges in England and roles in flood and coastal risk management. He outlines the journey so far including early natural flood management schemes from 10 years ago and being evidence-led. Looking forward, Harmer indicates there will be £15 million invested in natural flood management from 2021 to 2027, allowing greater community involvement in reducing flood risks.
United Utilities Integrated Drainage Area Strategies (IDAS) – Addressing wate...CaBASupport
This document discusses United Utilities' Integrated Drainage Area Strategies (IDAS) approach. IDAS takes a holistic, risk-based view of drainage issues across catchment areas in order to develop sustainable, long-term plans to reduce flood risk and improve water quality and asset resilience. The approach involves stakeholder engagement, modeling, and identifying opportunities for solutions such as reducing surface water in combined sewers and increasing natural flood management. United Utilities has completed initial risk assessments across 20 pilot catchment areas and aims to publish integrated drainage plans and identify partnership opportunities to develop collaborative solutions.
Partnership working: Time, Trust and Two-way communication. CaBASupport
The document discusses partnership working between flood authorities and communities. It emphasizes that engagement requires time to build trust and two-way communication. Effective partnership working involves listening to community experiences and knowledge, rather than assuming authority knowledge is most important. Engagement is best achieved through facilitation that brings all stakeholders together as equals to understand flooding holistically and develop long-term solutions.
The document discusses opportunities for catchment partnerships under the PR19 regulatory framework for water companies in the UK. It notes that PR19 provides unprecedented opportunities for ambitious catchment management due to drivers from regulators, customers, government, and partnerships. Specifically, it outlines opportunities around outcomes and performance commitments related to protecting the natural environment, as well as focus areas like resilience, innovation, long-term planning, customer participation, and generating multiple benefits. It advises catchment partnerships to understand the motivations of key players like Ofwat and customers, know the intervention points to influence business plans and goals, and aim high in their ambitions.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

27. Overview of data resources
There is a lot of data
out there for urban
(less) and rural (more).
The aim is to make it as
accessible as possible.
In the basic package
you will be getting...
X
28. Basic Data. Organised according to four questions
1) Where are the opportunities
for action?
2) Where are the
known issues?
3) What are the key
catchment
characteristics?
4) What are the
possible causes of
problems?Base mapping
(context)
30. Where are the opportunities for actions?
Focus effort where we can do things?
1)Freshwater and 2)Water Regulation (e.g. SuDS)
3)Habitats & wildlife, 4)Recreation & Culture
5)Climate Regulation
X
Drinking
water
SSSI, &
Habitat
opportunity
31. Where are the known problems? Start with WFD
2013 and then move on to any local assessments.
For 1)Surface Water and 2)Groundwater
3)Lakes, 4) Transitional & 5)Coastal waters
Ecological status
Chemical status
Monitoring sites
32. What are the key catchment characteristics? To
help understand the problems and more importantly what we
can do about them.
Rainfall, Landuse and Habitats, Surface & Groundwater.
Lakes, Transitional and Coastal
Priority
Habitats
Land
Drainage
33. What are the possible causes? If there is only one
possible cause it is easy; multiple causes are more troublesome!
1) Point sources & 2) Diffuse
Barriers & other + EA reasons for failure
34. Additional Data Resources:
Refine the basic data pack with according to your specific issues
• More detailed versions of
basic data
• Additional data layers
– Geostore, NE, RT data
store
– OS, BGS, CEH & NSRI
– Local data, e.g. Walkovers
• Urban data is often in this
section I am afraid.
36. How confident can we be of the data?
Measurement error, sample error and model error
Optimism with a touch of cynicism
37. Collecting our own data?
Data storage, standards & provenance
1) Predict
2) Monitor
3) Understand
4) Monitor
38. Some final thoughts on data?
1) Bring out your walkover data!
2) We are getting a central license sorted out but you will
need to send it back, 50 layers in the basic package.
3) We have surveyed you and got a lot of good feedback
but please come and see me, especially urban.
4) This is not the end .......
39. Overview of modelling tools:
The basics
• All models are wrong, but then so is
the monitoring!
• They are useful for ‘What ifs?’.
• Models are an important component
of a weight of evidence approach.
• You are getting model output in the
basic data package.
40. Rural modelling: A wealth of outputs available.
• SA GIS (In river concentration)
• PSYCHIC, NeapN, and
Farmscoper
• SCIMAP (Relative risk)
• ECM+ (Export coefficient)
• FS2.
• SWAT, CatchIS, iMap Water and
many more!
Output from the optimisation of
measures in Farmscoper
41. Urban modelling: There is a lot of outputs available.
• SA GIS.
• Integrated Urban Drainage
Modelling.
• Agency urban nitrate layer
• ConSim and LandSim.
• And many more for specific
situations.
Integrated Urban
drainage modelling
42. Some final thoughts.
• Models give better relative than absolute
predictions.
• Designed to answer a problem. Work with the
modellers to answer your problem.
• Scale is critical.
• Using multiple model outputs is good practice.
• You will get quite a few model outputs in the
basic data package.
SuDS map from BGS
43. Some final thoughts: If everyone agrees about the cause
of the problem and the best measures to solve it we don’t need models.
Where there is a lack of consensus models can help.
44. Interactive Session
The River Perch catchment
• 271 square kilometres in the English midlands,
• drains a varied landscape and range of habitats.
• rises in the moorland and mires of the Hassett
Hills
• flows south through a rolling agricultural
landscape before entering the town of
Felpersham.

your partnership.
46. Interactive Session
Your mission (should you choose to accept it!):
Use the maps and information you have access to in order to prioritise and
select three next steps for your partnership to take
You have 20 minutes to review the information and decide on your next steps.
Please nominate a reporter to feed back at the end on how your group made the decisions and what you
think you do and don’t know about your catchment.
You may like to consider these questions when reviewing the information that you have been provided
with:
– What are the key characteristics of my catchment?
– Where are the well-known problems in my catchment?
– What are the possible causes of problems?
– Where are the priority areas?
47. Interactive Session
1. Obtain outputs from sediment runoff risk model
2. Hold a meeting at a water treatment works between farmers and the
water company
3. Undertake pollution walkover survey
4. Hold a ' causes workshop' to investigate with stakeholders what the
possible causes of problems are
5. Seek funding to identify urban misconnections and undertake a public
education campaign
6. Review monitoring data to identify information gaps and decide what
additional data would be useful
7. Identify delivery organisations already active in the catchment
48. Interactive Session
8. Obtain outputs from a nutrient source apportionment model
9. Find out more about reasons for failure
10. Hold a 'measures' workshop to identify which measures to select
11. Apply for a grant to deliver a programme of agricultural advice and
investment
12. Meet with your main stakeholders in a brainstorming or workshop
situation to build consensus about the main issues and concerns in the catchment.
