River Chess catchment perceptual model

This report is the published product of a study by the British Geological Survey (BGS) into existing hydrogeological and hydrological understanding of the River Chess catchment, whilst highlighting any remaining uncertainties and knowledge gaps. This report results from work associated with the Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure (FDRI) programme; a £38 million project which will advance understanding of how, when and where floods and droughts occur in the UK. As part of the FDRI programme, three sub-catchments across the UK have been selected for fixed infrastructure, these are the upper Severn, the upper Tweed and the Chess which this report focuses on.
