Before the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, St Helens (which is located at
the centre of Sankey catchment) was only a small village located at the junction of the
boundaries of four townships - Windle, Sutton, Eccleston and Parr. The opening of ship
canals as well as the development of the transportation network between Liverpool and
Manchester had also increased urban sprawl in the Sankey catchment. Alteration of the
river characteristics as a result of urbanisation since 200 years ago has led to several
hydrological changes and severe problems in urban catchments, such as water pollution
and flash floods. Since the late 1980s, urban renewal programmes have been
implemented in the Sankey catchment by various agencies, focusing the urban greening
effort on Sankey’s river corridor and also upgrading the derelict and ‘brownfields’ land.
It is evident that the Sankey catchment has had differences in hydrological responses over time. The most significant finding is the change of flow characteristics between 1987 and
1996. The 1987-1996 period showed how the succession of urban renewal programmes
increased the health of the catchment’s ecosystem. Non-structural measures such as
public-private cooperation with public participation in the urban regeneration
programmes of the Sankey catchment, especially in the St Helens has proved that it
succeeded in improving the urban water quantity characteristics as well as water quality
within a decade. The late urbanisation stage in Sankey shows a dominance of
reconstruction or redevelopment of the urban area rather than the increase in urban
imperviousness |
