SYNOPSISAs a consequence of severe flooding in May 1979 and resultant public pressure, Wessex Water prepared an outline flood alleviation scheme for the river Brit at Bridport, Dorset. Restrictions in capital investment necessitated the works being undertaken in six stages.The river system through the urban area was mathematically modelled using Hydraulic Research's FLUCOMP 1, which demonstrated that flood alleviation works could be carried out in the very restricted valley bottom. In order to confirm design assumptions a physical model of the most restricted area was commissioned from Hydraulics Research Ltd (HR).The paper demonstrates the benefit of close liaison between designers and modellers to ensure that the most cost‐effective and technically feasible scheme is provided.

This book arises from a workshop on the application of network analysis to ecological flow networks. The purpose is to develop a new tool for comparison of ecosystems, paying particular attention to marine ecosystems. After a review of the methods and theory, data from a variety of marine habitats are analyzed and compared. Readers are shown how to calculate such properties as cycling index, average path length, flow diversity, indices of ecosystem growth and development and the origins and fates of particular flows. This is a highly original contribution to the growing field of ecosystem theory, in which attention is paid to the properties of the total, functioning ecosystem, rather than to the properties of individual organisms. New insights are provided into the workings of marine systems
