Modelled fluvial flood depth and climate change depth difference data created 2004: 1  percent annual chance for grid reference NU

The depth difference dataset (2004) is a depth grid showing the difference between modelled fluvial flood depths and modelled fluvial flood depths under climate change conditions (an increase in peak flows of 20%). 
Modelled fluvial flood depth and climate change depth difference data* was created for both the 1% annual chance of flooding situations and was produced as a by-product from the 2004 generalised modelling project. The purpose of the generalised modelling project was to fill the gaps where there was no detailed local modelled data in 2004, in order to define the extents of Flood Zones for spatial planning.
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model called JFlow was used to produce both the modelled fluvial flood depth and modelled fluvial flood depth with climate change data. This depth difference data, using these 2 datasets, is provided on a 5x5m grid.
Since 2004, some local detailed modelling projects have included scenarios for climate change however this depth difference dataset has not been updated.
INFORMATION WARNING: This data is not suitable for identifying whether an individual property will flood due to climate change, for detailed decision making or for use in site specific Flood Risk or Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Where this data is used further evidence, verification and studies should be undertaken. Climate change allowances have changed since this work was completed in 2004.
More recent, accurate and local detailed modelling depth data with climate change is available for some places. Please contact your local Environment Agency office to see if detailed modelling is available for your area of interest. 
This metadata record is for Approval for Access product AfA480 2004 1 in 100 Fluvial Depth Grid Climate Change Difference
Modelled fluvial flood depth data with climate change are available for the whole of England, however this data is for the 100x100km squared Ordnance Survey National Grid reference NU. If you are interested in data for another grid reference refer to this Ordnance Survey National Grid document to find the relevant referencing code and search on Data.gov.uk again to download the data.

Lake Habitat Survey

Lake Habitat Survey data collected using the standard Lake Habitat Survey (LHS) methodology by accredited surveyors.  LHS is a standard survey of a lake where data is collected in a replicable manner.  At 10 ‘Hab-plots’ (Habitat Observation plots) specific details are recorded about lake marginal features.  General information about the lake is recorded in the 'sweep-up' section of the survey.
The bulk of the surveys were conducted between 2004 and 2009.  A total of 99 lakes in England have been surveyed once.
This dataset contains summary information of the LHS surveys.  The following information has been excluded from the survey data because there is a risk that we might be disclosing personal data:
•	Surveyor name
•	Primary use
•	Litter, dump, landfill (%)
•	Lake base data – this has been excluded because it was originally taken from an external source.  Up-to-date data for UK lakes is available from CEH (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology) through their Lakes Portal (https://eip.ceh.ac.uk/apps/lakes/).

LIDAR Composite First Return Digital Surface Model (FZ_DSM) - 1m

The LIDAR Composite First Return DSM (Digital Surface Model) is a raster elevation model covering ~99% of England at 1m spatial resolution. The first return DSM is produced from the first or only laser pulse returned to the sensor and includes heights of objects, such as vehicles, buildings and vegetation, as well as the terrain surface where the first or only return was the ground.

Produced by the Environment Agency in 2022, the first return DSM is derived from data captured as part of our national LIDAR programme between 11 November 2016 and 5th May 2022. This programme divided England into ~300 blocks for survey over continuous winters from 2016 onwards. These surveys are merged together to create the first return LIDAR composite using a feathering technique along the overlaps to remove any small differences in elevation between surveys. Please refer to the metadata index catalgoues which show for any location which survey was used in the production of the LIDAR composite.

The first return DSM will not match in coverage or extent of the LIDAR composite last return digital surface model (LZ_DSM) as the last return DSM composite is produced from both the national LIDAR programme and Timeseries surveys.

The data is available to download as GeoTiff rasters in 5km tiles aligned to the OS National grid. The data is presented in metres, referenced to Ordinance Survey Newlyn and using the OSTN’15 transformation method. All individual LIDAR surveys going into the production of the composite had a vertical accuracy of +/-15cm RMSE. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2022.

Information for each Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) participant

The CRC Order 2013 provides for publication of information on the basis of participants' annual reports plus details submitted when they registered for the scheme.
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) is a mandatory scheme which aims to improve energy efficiency and cut emissions for large public and private sector energy users across the UK.  The scheme aims to encourage organisations to develop energy management strategies that promote a better understanding of energy usage, and lead to improved energy efficiency.
The scheme is split into phases: Phase 1 from 1 April 2010 until 31 March 2014 and Phase 2 from 1 April 2014  until 31 March 2019. Each year, CRC participants have to monitor their energy consumption and report this information into the CRC Registry, an online IT system, which calculates their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Participants must purchase and surrender 'allowances' to cover these emissions - one allowance for each tonne of CO2. Further information on the scheme can be found on the CRC pages of GOV.UK.
The ARP format was introduced for the 2012 to 2013 reporting year and replaces the performance league tables (PLT). Removal of the PLT was part of the government’s simplification of the CRC scheme.
These annually produced data sets contain the information provided by participants to the CRC Registry including organisational type, energy use and CO2 emissions. The data should be read in combination with the equivalent years ‘CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme: annual report publication which are located on GOV.UK. 
CRC performance league tables were published for the 2010 to 2011 and 2011 to 2012 compliance years and ranked participants according to their energy efficiency performance against a range of metrics.

Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Summary Data

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA178.The Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme (HMS) data contains statistics for a series of water quality sampling sites including annual means, maximum and minimum values for each Region for specified determinands from 1975 onwards.
The sampling network includes 230 sites, which are mainly located at the tidal limits of major rivers or at the points of confluence of significant tributaries. The information held within the HMS includes data on: Oxygen and ammonia, Nutrients, List II metals and Pesticides. Annual mean concentrations have been calculated for each HMS site. The data show the annual averages of the site means in each region, with each site given equal weight irrespective of the number of samples taken - an average of all the samples would give a greater weight to the sites at which samples are most frequently taken. In order to give an indication of the range of values at different sites within each region, figures are also given for the maximum and minimum site mean for each region. The data also includes for the UK average, the 10th percentile and the 90th percentile of the site means for the whole of the UK. For each determinand in each year and the 10-percentile and the 90-percentile of the site means in each region.
The Harmonised Monitoring Scheme (HMS) was established to provide an archive of water quality data for the UK. It is used to provide information for international obligations, including the long-term trends of some determinands and the estimation of riverborne input of selected determinands to the sea.
The detailed dataset is covered in AfA255 Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme detailed data. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015. All rights reserved
