A short history of muddy floods

The term 'muddy flood' has been used widely in the lowland, arable areas of western and central Europe to describe muddy runoff from arable fields that causes damage to property. There is some evidence that muddy floods are much more frequent in the last two decades than previously. It is clear though that there is very substantial under-reporting of the phenomena even in areas where they have been recognised for 20 years e.g. UK and France. Reconstructions based on questionnaires, news media and local authority records have had some success in historical analysis of muddy flood frequency but there is still a huge data deficiency. Records from some countries are woefully lacking e.g. Germany, Spain and Italy.Costs of muddy flooding are substantial especially in the loess belt of Belgium. The number of properties flooded in France suggests also that costs are high; similarly in England (UK) where costs for case studies are known but not for the country as a whole.There are two quite different solutions to the problem of muddy flooding. Protection can be provided by engineering devices: retention ponds, dams, trenches. This is an 'end of pipe' solution with severe cost implications and risks with regard to the design return period. Alternatively, land use change on relatively small areas of catchments, can be shown to be effective at reducing flood-risk hazard. A combination of the two has proved most effective at several sites in Europe.

“…The results suggested that the mean cost per capita reached 26 € yr -1 cap -1 . In South Limburg in Netherlands, the mean cost per capita due to erosion off-site impacts reached 1.04 € yr -1 cap -1 (Van Eck (1995) inKwaad et al (2006)). Even if the economic cost of off-site impacts can be different due to the availability of the data, one can observed that these costs remain in the same order of magnitude in the northwestern European loess belt.…”

“…Southeast Limburg is part of European loess belt which covers parts of England, northwest France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Russia [Kwaad et al, 2006]. They are the product of the Quaternary Glacial period and the resulting dust accumulation ranging (in Europe) from the maritime areas of NW-Europe (France, Belgium) over Central Europe to the Ukraine and the Russian plains [Haase et al, 2007].…”

This region is part of the European Loess belt which covers parts of England, Northwest France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Russia [Kwaad et al, 2006]. Typical landforms include dry valleys, incised roads and manmade cultivation terraces.…”

Tracing soil particle movement : towards a spectral approach to spatial monitoring of soil erosion

Assessing soil erosion over large areas has been a challenge for decades. The large spatial extent of the process creates difficulties in data acquisition for both measuring and validation. This chapter provides an overview of the most common applications of remotely sensed data as an input for various models and techniques in soil erosion studies. Remotely sensed data provide spatial coverage and are used to derive information for various soil erosion parameters, such as vegetation cover, topography, soil moisture, as well as to detect large erosion features. The chapter also contains a discussion on soil particle tracing using chemical elements as a method for assessment of soil erosion and deposition. By identifying the limitations associated with this technique, the gaps in the use of remote sensing for soil erosion monitoring using particle tracers are presented. Additionally, the chapter outlines a potential use of remote sensing data in order to expand the scope of already existing techniques. 1
