A common error when first installing SAGA-GIS and the SCIMAP module is: “Failed to load shared library ‘…saga_vc8/modules/scimap.dll’ (error 126: the specified module could not be found.). The normal reason for this problem is missing…
A new ESRC research project investigating the economic benefits of diffuse pollution mitigation targeting is using SCIMAP.
SCIMAP is being used in the Defra funded River Eden Demonstration Test Catchment (EdenDTC) project. This project is investigating the dynamics of water quality from agricultural land using state of the art, real time, water…
Durham Wildlife Trust is using SCIMAP to identify areas with high fine sediment pollution risk within the River Wear catchment. The trust exists to protect wildlife and is therefore committed to tackling the problems that…
Understanding nutrient connectivity at the landscape scale: The use of the SCIMAP approach in the UK and Ireland.
You can download the 2011 version of SCIMAP for non-commercial use under a Creative Commons license. This version has the SCIMAP-Forward-based calculations for fine sediment predictions, a method to buffer your catchment to prevent no-data…
Creating a SCIMAP fine sediment risk map with SAGA GIS and ESRI ArcMap. Presentation authors: Dr Sim Reaney and Dr David Milledge, Durham University If the video does not work, please use this link.
Within SCIMAP, the hydrological connectivity is based on the ‘Network Index’ (Lane et al. 2004). This index calculates the level of landscape wetness for each point to both generate runoff and for there to be…
Dave Milledge (1,2), Stuart Lane (1,2), Louise Heathwaite (3), Sim Reaney (1,2) The hydrological and biogeochemical processes that operate in catchments influence the ecological quality of freshwater systems through delivery of fine sediment, solutes and…
Dave Milledge (1,2), Stuart Lane (1,2), Sim Reaney (1,2), and Louise Heathwaite (3) The concept of connectivity is increasingly being applied in hydrology as researchers attempt to move beyond the traditional partial or variable source…
