 Numerical prediction of instream habitat for the optimisation of compensation flow releases
The Loxley and Rivelin are eastward flowing impounded tributaries of the River Don.
The two rivers join at Malinbridge, approximately two kilometres upstream of the confluence with the River Don in the Owlerton district of northwest Sheffield.
In this case there is a need to determine whether either of the rivers is adversely affected by the compensation flow regime, and if it is possible in the longer term to alter the compensation flow regimes to increase the ecological value of the rivers.

The Rivelin is a watercourse (and valley) of two parts, divided by the eastern boundary of the Peak District national park.
The lower half of Rivelin was industrialised from an early time; by 1770, there were 24 water wheels along this river, driving the grinding hulls associated with Sheffield's edge tool industry.
To mark the coronation of Edward VII, one of the grandest road approaches to any British city was created here; Rivelin Valley Road was constructed alongside the river, well over two miles of broad, sweeping highway, lined on both sides by deciduous trees, which have now reached maturity.

Sheffield, like Rome and Seattle, is built on 7 hills around 5 rivers which include the Don, the Sheaf, the Rivelin, the Loxley, and the Porter.

Fortunately today it is considerably cleaner, with fig trees flourishing along parts of its banks and trout and grayling happily sharing the river with families of ducks.

In many cases there is a need to determine whether rivers are adversely affected by the compensation flow regimes, and if it is possible in the longer term to alter the compensation flow regimes in order to increase the ecological value of the rivers.
It may be possible in many of these upland millstone grit catchments to alter the compensation flow regimes so that the ecology of rivers can be greatly improved, whilst at the same time water companies may generate the potential to use the water in their systems more efficiently.
In the study there will also be a control catchment, which is the River Hipper, an unreservoired catchment draining a predominantly rural catchment to the west of Chesterfield.

 Irene's Chronicles
We soon saw the first traces of what had been for centuries, a hive of industrial activity, as the river Rivelin was diverted into numerous small damns.
The water from these was fed along ‘goits’ to drive the water wheels for the cutlery workshops and forges which lined the banks.
On reaching the river, we turned left along the bank, noting the meanders, to another picturesque abandoned mill.
