- W4283462034 abstract "Water resources management during drought is a significant challenge worldwide, particularly for upland areas. Additionally, variations in water availability are becoming more extreme with climate change. Nature Based Solutions (NBS) e.g. Runoff Attenuation Features (RAFs) could provide an alternative to hard-engineering. Using more natural processes, flow pathways are intercepted and attenuated in features during wet periods, increasing infiltration opportunity and thus water availability for use later. NBS research has primarily focused on flood mitigation, but little is known about low flow impacts; knowledge is required on where and at what scale to implement NBS. To explore these questions, we used a physically-based catchment model (MIKE SHE) integrated with a hydraulic river model (MIKE 11) to evaluate scenarios with varying RAF volumes and locations. We applied this to an intensively monitored upland Scottish catchment (0.9 km2) where 40 RAFs (∼2m3 storage each) were installed for low flow enhancement. Model results showed installed RAFs increase recharge (∼0.1%), groundwater contribution to streamflow (∼4%) and low flows (∼1%) and reduce high (∼5%) and mean flows (∼2%), suggesting RAFs could be used to mitigate extreme flows. The scenarios revealed that RAF location (primarily soil type) and scale (total storage volume and spread of features) were both important. Doubling installed RAF volumes increased impact on low flows by ∼25% and high flows by ∼40%, although lower additional benefits were predicted with further storage increases. RAFs had greater impact in freely-draining soils than poorly-draining, however distributing the same storage volume across many smaller RAFs over greater areas (both soil types) provided the largest effect. Absolute changes observed were relatively small, and given model uncertainty, should be treated with caution. Nevertheless, the direction of change was clear and given ecological systems and water supply rely on small margins of change, even slight increases in low flows will likely be beneficial." @default.
