SCIMAP: A history of the rivers trust movement and hydrological connectivity
https://vimeo.com/62857760 Alistair Maltby, Director North, The Rivers Trust The earliest principles of the rivers trust movement were based on managing catchments as watersheds, and the twelve principles of the ecosystems approach. In the agricultural dominated…
Comparing SCIMAP critical source areas to locally identified ‘hotspots’ from catchment walkover surveys.
John M Douglass, Environment Agency. A good SCIMAP-sediment model will identify probable critical source areas of fine sediment within a catchment at a field scale. It does this by estimating relative erodability of soils and…

The SCIMAP modelling framework: a powerful tool for targeting the planning and delivery of integrated catchment management interventions.
Nick Paling, Westcountry Rivers Trust. If we can determine which pressures are exerting negative impacts on the water quality in our aquatic ecosystems and identify their sources in a catchment, then we can develop a…
