Sim Reaney, Durham University 2022 Overview SCIMAP-Flood is a spatial targeting tool for flow slowing natural flood risk management schemes. The tool considers the spatial structure of the landscape, rainfall patterns, the pattern of runoff…
A short video about SCIMAP and the web-based FIO version. This video was presented at the Catchment Based Approach’s Catchment Data User Group meeting in 2020.
This training video was produced by Michelle Walker from the Rivers Trust for Trent Rivers Trust staff to show how to run the myScimap model and export the data for visualising and sharing in various…
This video gives an overview of how to use the ‘Web Mapping Service’ (WMS) to take the outputs from the web based my.scimap to a desktop GIS. This video deals with using QGIS.
Users need to understand the key hydrological processes within their area of interest and basic GIS skills. The user needs to understand what the results are saying and to ensure that the assumptions fit with…
The key limitation with an application of SCIMAP is the quality of the input data (garbage in, garbage out). Therefore, care must be taken to use datasets with the required level of spatial information. Many…
The standard implementation of the SCIMAP framework is applicable where the topographic controls dominate the movement of water and pollutants through the landscape. Therefore, SCIMAP is widely applicable in many parts of the UK. However,…
SCIMAP can be run across large catchment (2000 km2 +) as well as for targeted sub-catchments (e.g. < 1km2). The normal grid resolution is 5m based on the NextMap DTM product therefore giving large coverage…
SCIMAP is based on the identification of locations of critical source areas (Heathwaite et al. 2005). within the landscape. These locations are based on the areas that are most likely to have a source of…
SCIMAP aids spatial targeting by identifying the locations in the landscape that are most likely to be contributing to an observed diffuse pollution issue. SCIMAP should be used as part of a toolkit whereby a…
