		The project is based on the River Tame in the West Midlands - specifically the urban area of the river catchment that includes Birmingham and a large part of the Black Country.
		The River Tame is a typical example of an urban river - polluted, heavily modified by culverting, straightening, re-routing and with concrete banks and few natural features.
		The final project conference this May, on Urban river management and the Water Framework Directive, is an opportunity to review the progress made during this three-year LIFE-Environment project and critically assess the project's outputs.

	7.9 Impacts on Water Resources
		The proposed alignment crosses the River Tame, the Tame Valley Canal, Walsall Canal, Birmingham Canal, Parkhead Locks, Pensnett Canal and Dudley No. 1 Canal. The location of these watercourses in relation to the proposed alignment is detailed in Figure 1.1 in Volume 2.
		An ‘indicative floodplain’ associated with the River Tame and its tributaries is located at the northern end of the proposed route. This designated area, indicates that the proposed alignment at the northern end of the route lies within the natural river floodplain, calculated by historical flood records and geographic models.
		The principal watercourses in the vicinity to the proposed scheme are the River Tame, Tame Valley Canal, Walsall Canal, Birmingham Canal, Parkhead Locks, Pensnett Canal and Dudley No. 1 Canal. Impacts have the potential to arise during construction due to the works.

		Late Pleistocene fluviatile sands and gravels laid down by the River Tame at Whitemoor Haye in south Staffordshire, close to the Trent confluence, have yielded the remains of fossil mammals attributable to the Middle Devensian (marine oxygen isotope stage [MIS] 3, c.
		The remarkably good condition and completeness of the material suggested that the rhinoceros had initially been buried as a frozen carcass, although the posterior part of the body appears to have been removed at a later date.
		The discovery of an articulated skeleton represents a particularly significant find for the English West Midlands, where vertebrate remains have been only rarely encountered to date, and provides an important marker in the dating of this part of the Trent-Tame terrace sequence.
