Exeter and East Devon Water Cycle Study 3 The water cycle catchment 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 Figure 3.1 shows the natural and engineered elements that comprise the Water Cycle in the context of this study. Although the methods of dealing with the water cycle elements may change, the basic requirements never will. Rain will fall, clean water will be needed for life and sewage treatment will be needed for public health. Figure 3.1 – The water cycle 3.1.2 Human manipulation of the natural water cycle can result in negative impacts on the water-related environment, which can indirectly affect the ecology that is dependant on the natural features of a water cycle. These features are potentially at risk from future development due to the associated increase in demand for clean water supply taken from natural sources; increased treatment of waste water that has to return to receiving waters; and the alteration of natural surface water flow paths. 3.1.3 There are two key uncertainties in the study of any water cycle: Climate change, which can be modelled crudely for some aspects of the water cycle, and the Water Framework Directive ((WFD) already transposed into UK law) which could mean that water quality standards improve significantly between now and 2016. What is acceptable now may not necessarily be so in the future. 3.2 River catchments and hydrology 3.2.1 The river catchments within the study area are shown in Figure 3.2 The main watercourses that drain the core study area are the River Exe and its tributary the River Clyst. Just upstream of the growth point area, the River Exe is joined by two major tributaries, the River Creedy from the west and the River Culm from the east. The wide floodplains of the River Exe and River Culm provide significant floodwater storage immediately upstream (north) of the core study area, attenuating and reducing peak flows. Downstream of Exeter, the River Exe flows in a southeasterly direction into the Exe estuary. 3.2.2 Elsewhere in East Devon, the other main river catchments are the River Otter in the west of the district (flowing through Newton Poppleford and to the coast at Budleigh Salterton), the River Sid 19 Ref EWCS April 2010
