Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood (2022)
Journal Article
Pearson, C., Reaney, S., Perks, M., Hortobagyi, B., Rosser, N., & Large, A. (2022). Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood. Journal of Flood Risk Management, 15(4), Article e12840. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12840

Practical approaches for managing flooding from fluvial sources are moving away from mitigation solely at the point of impact and towards integrated catchment management. This considers the source areas, flow pathways of floodwaters and the locations... Read More about Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood.

Sustainable Catchment-Wide Flood Management: A Review of the Terminology and Application of Sustainable Catchment Flood Management Techniques in the UK (2022)
Journal Article
Lashford, C., Lavers, T., Reaney, S., Charlesworth, S., Burgess-Gamble, L., & Dale, J. (2022). Sustainable Catchment-Wide Flood Management: A Review of the Terminology and Application of Sustainable Catchment Flood Management Techniques in the UK. Water, 14(8), Article 1204. https://doi.org/10.3390/w14081204

Climate change has seen increased pressures put on the existing ageing flood mitigation infrastructure. As a result, over recent decades there has been a shift from traditional hard-engineered approaches to flooding to more sustainable methods that u...

Spatial targeting of nature‐based solutions for flood risk management within river catchments (2022)
Journal Article
Reaney, S. M. (2022). Spatial targeting of nature‐based solutions for flood risk management within river catchments. Journal of Flood Risk Management, 15(3), Article e12803. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12803

A wide range of nature-based solutions for flood hazard management work by storing and slowing flow within catchments, and therefore, there is a need to identify the optimal locations for implementing these solutions. This paper presents a relative s... Read More about Spatial targeting of nature‐based solutions for flood risk management within river catchments.

Transmission loss estimation for ephemeral sand rivers in Southern Africa (2021)
Journal Article
Mathias, S. A., Reaney, S. M., & Kenabatho, P. K. (2021). Transmission loss estimation for ephemeral sand rivers in Southern Africa. Journal of Hydrology, 600, Article 126487. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2021.126487

Ephemeral sand rivers represent an important water resource in Southern Africa. These rivers only flow for a few days in a year. However, much of this water infiltrates the underlying river bed sediments where it is protected from evaporation and uti...

A new framework for integrated, holistic, and transparent evaluation of inter-basin water transfer schemes (2020)
Journal Article
Sinha, P., Rollason, E., Bracken, L. J., Wainwright, J., & Reaney, M. S. (2020). A new framework for integrated, holistic, and transparent evaluation of inter-basin water transfer schemes. Science of the Total Environment, 721, Article 137646. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137646

Water shortages are forecast to affect 50% of the world's population by 2030, impacting developing nations most acutely. To increase water security there has been a significant increase in Inter-basin Water Transfer (IBWT) schemes, engineering mega-p...

Benchmarking the predictive capability of hydrological models for river flow and flood peak predictions across over 1000 catchments in Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article
Lane, R. A., Coxon, G., Freer, J. E., Wagener, T., Johnes, P. J., Bloomfield, J. P., …Reaney, S. M. (2019). Benchmarking the predictive capability of hydrological models for river flow and flood peak predictions across over 1000 catchments in Great Britain. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 23(10), 4011-4032. https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-23-4011-2019

Benchmarking model performance across large samples of catchments is useful to guide model selection and future model development. Given uncertainties in the observational data we use to drive and evaluate hydrological models, and uncertainties in th...

Identifying critical source areas using multiple methods for effective diffuse pollution mitigation (2019)
Journal Article
Reaney, S., Mackay, E., Haygarth, P., Fisher, M., Molineux, A., Potts, M., & Benskin, C. M. (2019). Identifying critical source areas using multiple methods for effective diffuse pollution mitigation. Journal of Environmental Management, 250, Article 109366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109366

Diffuse pollution from agriculture constitutes a key pressure on the water quality of freshwaters and is frequently the cause of ecological degradation. The problem of diffuse pollution can be conceptualised with a source-mobilisation-pathway (or del...

Strong and recurring seasonality revealed within stream diatom assemblages (2019)
Journal Article
Snell, M., Barker, P., Surridge, B., Benskin, C. M. H., Barber, N., Reaney, S., …Haygarth, P. (2019). Strong and recurring seasonality revealed within stream diatom assemblages. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 3313. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-37831-w

Improving stream water quality in agricultural landscapes is an ecological priority and a legislative duty for many governments. Ecosystem health can be effectively characterised by organisms sensitive to water quality changes such as diatoms, single...

High resolution characterisation of E. coli proliferation profiles in livestock faeces (2019)
Journal Article
Porter, K. D., Quilliam, R. S., Reaney, S. M., & Oliver, D. M. (2019). High resolution characterisation of E. coli proliferation profiles in livestock faeces. Waste Management, 87, 537-545. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2019.02.037

Agricultural intensification can lead to high volumes of livestock faeces being applied to land, either as solid or liquid manures or via direct defecation, and can result in reservoirs of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) persisting within farmland....
