 Hydrological Review of 2001 - River Flows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The influence of catchment geology on river flow patterns was particularly evident during 2001.
Although river flow recessions were well established by the end of the year, many rivers registered their highest annual runoff on record - examples included the Lud, Itchen, Great Stour and Lee, the latter in a 123-year record.
The River Thames established a new October-March maximum in a series from 1883 and previous maxima were commonly exceeded by 50% or more for gauging stations with flow records of less than 40 years.

Kimpton Village is built along the course of the former River Kym or Kyme which it is thought flowed down what is now Claggy Road and the High Street to the River Mimram, halfway between Kimpton and Codicote.
The river is known to have appeared briefly in 1947 but in February 2001, due to an unprecedented amount of rainfall since the previous September, it emerged again followed its natural course from Netherfield Springs (near Breachwood Green), through Kimpton, to join the Mimram at Kimpton Mill.
A breach was made in the side of this lagoon to enable the surplus water to flow over adjacent water meadows for 1/2 km, eventually discharging into the River Mimram which had sufficient spare capacity to accommodate the additional flow of water.

 Hydrological Review 1998 - River Flows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For the River Mimram, to the north of London, 1998 rainfall was around 110% of average but river flows remained depressed throughout most of the year and the annual runoff total ranks seventh lowest in a series from 1952; a direct reflection of the low groundwater levels throughout 1998.
The pattern of monthly river flows during 1998, and over the preceding four years, is shown on Figure 1.
Exceptions included many rivers in northern Britain where the flows exceeded 10% of the time were close to the average - and, more notably - flows in spring-fed lowland rivers which, though remaining above drought minima, were especially depressed - relative to the seasonal average - during the first quarter of the year.

 44 PANSHANGER PARKLAND
From the western edge of Hertford westwards along the Mimram valley; circumscribed by the B1000 to the north and the A414 to the south.
The local topography demonstrates the effect of a breakthrough from an interglacial lake, whose rapid drainage and draw-down led to erosion of the hanging valleys, of which Panshanger is the most obvious example in the county.
The parkland farmland is mainly in arable cultivation and pasture, with significant water meadows along the Mimram and extensive woodland belts.

 Local History of Hertford (Hertfordshire)
As a young town, Hertford was constantly invaded by marauding Danes who sailed their boats up the River Lea from London to Hertford to a fortified base from which they sent out raiding parties to pillage local settlements.
This was during the period when the county was split between English and Danish rule and the River acted as a boundary between the to powers.
No less than four rivers meet in Hertford they are the Mimram, Rib, Beane and the Lea the latter of which still provides access to the River Thames and the open seas to the hundreds of pleasure craft and narrow boat users who frequent the rivers today.

 A History of Brickendon : beating the bounds
While the river was being crossed one of the party had the misfortune to overbalance himself and fall backwards into the stream, but he quickly clambered into the boat again, and beyond a thorough ‘ducking’ was none the worse for his mishap, which caused considerable amusement to the onlookers.
Continuing, the branch railway to the Horns Mill was crossed, and the line passes through the garden of the lodge already mentioned, then nearly alongside the main river for a short distance, and across the meadow in a north-westerly direction to the Mimram.
Boats were waiting at this point, and the centre of the stream and afterwards the Lee was followed down to Castle Bridges, over which the party climbed, then up Water-lane, and alongside the wall on the north side of Castle-street to the point from whence the start was made in the morning.

 The Wild Trout Conservation Award 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is good news that the River Mimram is now central to a low-flow study of Hertfordshire chalk streams, but with the pressure of house building I hope that it is not too little, too late.” Since starting this personal project Neil enrolled on an ecology and conservation course.
We invited Simon Cain to the school to give a talk on river improvement, and over the next three years a mill-stream was turned by the work of the school-children, from a rather down-at-heel repository for sports shoes and bicycles, into a bright-bellied brook, which acted as a nursery area for young fish, including trout.
Simon Cain’s project on the River Wylye won this award in 1998, his project on the Itchen was runner-up in 1999, and this year his latest work on the Avon again impressed the judging team.

 HESS - Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Two aggregated dead-zone (ADZ) parameters, namely time delay and dispersive fraction, are incorporated into the existing model formulation, extending the current continuously stirred tank reactor based model processes to account for advective and active mixing volume dispersive processes.
The resulting river water quality model combines the strengths of the QUASAR model, which has proven non-conservative pollutant modelling capabilities, with the accurate advection and dispersion characterisation of the ADZ model.
The enhanced water quality model and associated methods of parameter estimation are validated using data from tracer experiments conducted on the River Mimram.

During the year 1997/98, evidence of water voles was found at 24 of the 25 sites investigated; two stretches of river previously recorded as negative are now positive.
Continuing water loss, in many of Hertfordshireís rivers has seriously affected water voles; in particular along stretches of the Mimram and Gade.
