3 4 HYDRAULIC MODEL DETAILS 4.10 INISTIOGE General Hydraulic Model Information (1) Introduction: The South Eastern CFRAM Study Flood Risk Review report (IBE0601 Rp0001_Flood Risk Review_F01) highlighted Inistioge as an AFA for fluvial and tidal flooding based on a review of historic flooding and the extents of flood risk determined during the PFRA. Model 9 represents the Inistioge AFAin south County Kilkenny, and encompasses the most downstream reach of the River Nore prior to joining the Barrow Nore Estuary Upper. The Inistioge AFA is affected by the River Nore and a small tributary of the Nore flowing from the west which is also included as a HPW within the model. The Nore catchment as a whole is predominantly rural. The total contributing area at the downstream limit of the model is 2,519km 2 i.e. the entire Nore catchment. 96% of this area enters Model 9 at the upstream limit (downstream output from Thomastown Model 7). TheCroum River is a modelled tributary which meets the Nore within Inistiogeand has a total contributing area of 4.5km 2. Downstream of the AFA, several small, steeply sloping tributaries enter the River Nore; the largest of which is the Clodiagh River (14km 2 ). As the model is tidally influenced, the downstream boundary of the model is a tidal hydrograph; further details of this are included in Section (5). One gauging station, Brownsbarn (15006 OPW), is located on the modelled reach at the upstream limit of the model. This gauge is an A2 classified station and there is high confidence in it.further information on the gauge is provided in Section A CFRAM rating review was undertaken for the gauge; see Section (4)(a) for a full review. A rainfall runoff model has not been constructed as there is already high confidence in the gauge.this station was used as a pivotal site to adjust the index flows for Model 9. However, in the case of smaller tributaries entering the Nore, a review of pivotal site options revealed that using Station pushed the resulting Q med values above the 68%ile upper limit. Therefore, as an alternative, the most suitable geographically close station was used (Station or as appropriate)for the smaller tributaries. A number of rivers have been identified as HPW within the Inistioge model, including Croum River, Inistioge Link River and a portion of the Nore River which passes through the AFA. These reaches have been modelled as 1D-2D using the MIKE software suite. Upstream and downstream of the AFA, the Nore River is designated as MPW and has been modelled as 1D. The model has been extended upstream by 800m to enable the rating review of the Brownsbarn (15006) gauging station. (2) Model Reference: HA15_INIS9 IBE0601Rp F02

Brownsbarn (15006) gauging station is located at the upstream extent of the model reach. A rating review is to be carried out for this gauge and so the model has been extended 800m upstream to allow for this. IBE0601Rp F02

Further details are included in Chapter A discussion on the way structures have been modelled is included in Chapter Three critical structures have been identified in the model. These are afootbridge (15COUM00044D) (Figure ), a road access bridge (15COUM00042I) (Figure ), and a culvert near Hatchery Lane (15COUM00026D)(Figure ) over the Croum River. The capacity of these three structures is insufficient to convey flood flows during the modelled events (10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP). All three structures restrict flows causing flow to build up upstream. However, out-of-channel flow only occurs during the 0.1% AEP event; this is due to the high capacity of the Croum River channel. Figure : Footbridge over Croum River (15COUM00044D) IBE0601Rp F02

18 Hydraulic Model Calibration and Verification (1) Key Historical Floods (fromibe0601rp0008_ha15 Inception Report_D02, unless otherwise specified): NOV 2009 A review of historical flood events indicated that flooding occurred in Thomastown and Inistioge on 19 th November However, details of the flood extents are not available. At Brownsbarn hydrometric station (15006), located between these two AFAs, the peak flow measured during this event was 396m 3 /s, which is close to the modelled peak flow of a 10% AEP fluvial event (coincides with 50% AEP tidal event)of m 3 /s. A review of the 10% AEP model results shows Inistioge town to experience flooding during this event, see Figures and and the flood maps. JAN 2008 A Review of the historical data indicated that a flood event occurred on 10 th January 2008 ATThomastown and Inistioge. At the Met Eireann weather station in Kilkenny, 33.6mm of heavy rain fell mainly during a 12 hour period on 9 th to 10 th January and caused the Nore to burst its banks. In Inistioge, the R700 was flooded. Flood gates saved several houses from flooding. In the case of one house, the gate was not put in place in time. The quay area was flooded to a depth of 300mm. At the Brownsbarn hydrometric station (15006), locatedbetween the Thomastown and Inistioge AFAs, the recorded peak flow was m 3 /s which is close to the modelled peak flow of a 10% AEP Fluvial event (coincides with 50% AEP tidal event)of m 3 /s. Model results show the R700 is inundated with floodwaters in Inistioge town during the 10% AEP fluvial (coincides with 50% AEP tidal) event. The quay area, adjacent to the R700 Inistioge road bridge, is also inundated with waters up to a depth of 950mm,see Figures and and the flood maps. NOV 2000 The historical review indicated that a flood event occurred in Ballyragget, Kilkenny, Thomastown, Inistioge, and Ballyhale in November The flooding was caused by heavy rainfall causing the River Nore to overflow. References to flooding in Thomastown, Inistioge and Ballyhale on this date were also found. The N9 at Ballyhale was closed. A peak flood level of 8.0mOD (Malin), and a corresponding peak flow of 376m 3 /s,were recorded at the Brownsbarn hydrometric station (15006). This flow is close to a modelled 10% AEP fluvial event (coincides with 50% tidal event) at the Brownsbarn Gauge, of415.97m 3 /s. IBE0601Rp F02

19 No further information was found on the damage caused to these towns. During the 10% AEP fluvial (coincides with 50% tidal) event, the peak flow at Brownsbarn gauge is m 3 /s. A review of the 10% AEP model results shows Inistioge town to experience flooding during this event, see Figures and and the flood maps. JAN 1996 Kilkenny, Callan, Thomastown and Inistiogeexperienced flooding on 6 th January 1996 following heavy rainfall.references to flooding in Inistioge, where the Green and GAA pitch were flooded, were found. At the Brownsbarn Hydrometric Station (between Thomastown and Inistioge) on 7 th January, the peak flood level reached 8.06mOD (Malin) with a corresponding peak flow of 388m 3 /s. At the Brownsbarn hydrometric station (15006),between thethomastown and Inistioge AFAs, the recorded peak flow was 388 m 3 /s which is close to the modelled peak flow of a 10% AEP fluvial event (coincides with 50% AEP tidal event) of m 3 /s. A review of the 10% AEP model results shows that the GAA pitch and green experience flooding up to depths of 1.8m during this event, see Figures and and the flood maps. DEC 1960 Review of the historical data indicated that flooding occurred in Kilkenny, Callan, Thomastown and Inistioge on 1 st December 1960 caused by heavy rainfall and snowmelt. In Inistioge, houses were flooded to a depth of 3 to 4 feet. At Brownsbarn Hydrometric Station (15006), between Thomastown and Inistioge, a peak flood level of 8.24mOD (Malin) was recorded.the peak recorded flow was 411 m 3 /s, which is close to the modelled peak flow of a 10% AEP fluvial event (coincides with 50% AEP tidal event) of m 3 /s. A review of the 10% AEP model results shows that houses off the R700, adjacent to The Square, experience flooding up to 1m (approx. 3-4 ft); see Figures and and the flood maps. All buildings were removed from the floodplain and so the exact depths in the houses cannot be calculated. MAR 1947 A major flood event was found to have occurred on 14 th March 1947 in Freshford, Kilkenny, Callan, Thomastown and Inistioge.In Inistioge, the lower part of the village was flooded to a depth of five feet. Ten houses were affected. No information on flows or levels was found. During the 10% AEP fluvial event (coincides with 50% tidalevent), peak flood depths of 1.5m (approx. 5 ft) are shown in the lower part of Inistioge near the Nore River. Over a dozen houses are shown to be affected during this event, see Figures IBE0601Rp F02

20 and and the flood maps. OCT 1763 A review of the historical data indicated that flooding occurred in Kilkenny, Thomastown and Inistioge on 2 nd October 1763 caused by 24 hours of incessant rain. It was reported that every bridge on the Nore was washed away except for one in Ballyragget and one in Inistioge, which was badly damaged (Kilkenny County Council Report, Jul 1985).This is the worst known flood in the history of the area. During all simulated fluvial events (10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events coinciding with 50% tidal event), the two bridges on the model reach (the R700 road bridge at Brownsbarn and the R700 bridge at Inistioge town) are inundated with floodwaters suggesting damage to the original bridges is likely, see Figures and and the flood maps. No flow or level data is available for calibration. IBE0601Rp F02

22 Summary of Calibration There are a number of historic flood events to calibrate/validate the model to in the AFA. The model results are well validated at the 10% AEP return period. However, there is limited gauge data with relevant flood information (extents, depths) for the higher return periods, so calibration/validationis limited to lower flow (10% AEP) events. A rating review was carried out for the Brownsbarn gauging station (15006). Brownsbarn calibrates well with the recorded rating review and has therefore been used for calibration with historical events. A mass balance check has been carried out on the model to ensure that the total volume of water entering and leaving the model at the upstream and downstream boundaries balances with the quantity of water remaining in the domain at the end of the simulation. The mass error in the 1% AEP design run was found to be -0.3%, which is within acceptable limits (Section 3.11 of this report details acceptable limits). Model flows were validated against the estimated flows at HEP check points to ensure the model is well anchored to hydrological estimates. However, as the downstream extent of the model (HEP 15_1839_1) is a tidal boundary it is not possible to validate. A test model was run using the 0.1% AEP inflows and the downstream boundary set to a Q-h boundary. The modelled peak flow at HEP 15_1839_1 is within 5% of the estimated peak flow ( m 3 /s) at HEP 15_1839_1. As such, the model is considered well anchored to the hydrological estimates. There are no significant instabilities shown in the model results. Overall, the model is performing well and is supported by historic information.

Figure shows the location of the gauge. IBE0601Rp F02

23 Figure Brownsbarn (15006) Gauging Station Location This gauging station has an FSU rating of A2, suggesting that there is confidence in the rating up to approximately 1.3 times the Q med. For FSU, a Q med value of m 3 /s was extracted from records between 1972 and The OPW have assigned the rating standard at the Brownsbarn station a data quality code of 36 up to 1.37 m, and a data quality code of 56 from 1.37m up to 3.23 m above staff gauge zero. A rating review was carried out for this gauge. During calibration the model was adjusted to achievebest fit of the modelled rating to the highest flow spot gauging ( m 3 /s; stage m, 7.79 m OD Malin).During initial calibration of the model, a lack of agreement between the modelled rating and the OPW rating in the low flow Q-h range was found, regardless of the roughness values used. Only the upstream face cross-section of the bridge structure was surveyed and a review of the cross-sections downstream of the bridge suggests that there may be a high point in the channel at a location downstream of the bridge, which was not captured in the survey, and which controls the low stage Q-h relationship. To account for this, a cross-section was interpolated downstream of the bridge structure with the bed levels raised until agreement could be achieved with the low flow spot gaugings.this low flow control point was investigated and a cross-section was surveyed at the location,this cross-section is now included in the model in place of the interpolated section. A Manning s n value of on the cross-section at the gauge was required for the model to replicate the existing OPW spot gaugings. This is slightly lower than the usual value of 0.03 for a clean, straight channel with minimal vegetation on the banks. A review of survey photographs and aerial photographs of the river confirmed that this is an appropriate value for this reach. IBE0601Rp F02

24 A Manning s n value of 0.02 was applied to each of the arches comprising the bridge structure, and an inflow loss coefficient of 0.3 was applied to each arch. After applying these values, the model Q-h represented the existing OPW rating fairly well. The gauging station is located on a HPW reach, and as such the model has been constructed from surveyed cross-sections in the 1D channel of the model, and LiDARDTM representing the 2D floodplain. Flow is accurately represented both in-channel and within the floodplain. The model produced a stable rating curve up to m 3 /s (stage 3.43 m; 9.58 m OD Malin). The rating curve for the 1D-2D linked model is considered reliable up to m 3 /s (stage 3.43 m; 9.58 m OD Malin), which is an estimated 0.1% AEP flow. The results of the rating curve are shown in Figure The graph depicts the RPS modelled rating curve against the OPW rating curve. The graph shows that the model accurately represents the OPW rating curve based on the highest flow spot gaugings up to the highest spot gauging m 3 /s (stage 3.43; 7.2 m OD Malin). The model passes through the highest flow spot gauging and can be considered well calibrated to the spot gaugings Comparison of Existing OPW Rating Curve, RPS Rating Curve and Spot Gaugings (5) Other Information: None IBE0601Rp F02

25 Hydraulic Model Assumptions, Limitations and Handover Notes (1) Hydraulic Model Assumptions: a) The in-channel, structure and floodplain roughness coefficients, initially selected based on normal bounds, were reviewed using aerial photography and survey data during the calibration process. It is considered that the selected values are representative. (b) The time-to-peak of inflow hydrographs generated during the hydrological analysis have been reviewed during the calibration process. No changes were made to flows. (c) For design run simulations it has been assumed that all culverts and screens are free of debris and sediment. (d) No overtopping structure (weir) was included for the 15COUM00031D culvert as the headwall is over 3 metres above the culvert soffit (see photograph in Section (1). The 0.1% AEPevent flow does not reach this level, and as such it is assumed acceptable to exclude the overtopping structure from the model. e) It should be noted that observed flooding of rural roads and outlying properties may be represented less accurately than flooding within the AFA. The MPW was modelled using cross-section data only and the cross-sections did not contain enough data on the left and right banks. As water levels increased, the floodplain was not accurately represented as water was not able to spill as required. The majority of the cross-sections on the Nore River (from chainage m to m)were extended with the use of the NDHM to provide enough information on the floodplain and to allow water to spill as necessary. Background mapping from the NDHM wasapplied to the MPW which allowed for more accurate floodplain representation between the 1D cross sections. Specific areas where floodwaters were subject to glasswalling beyond the 1D cross sectionswere connected to the nearest cross-section to produce a more accurate mapping output. It should be noted that this method simply projects the water level from the associated cross-section onto the topography. This methodology is further discussed in Section 3; essentially it provides no attenuation for the MPW but provides improved mapping. This is reflected in the model check flows which are discussed in Appendix A.3.

The 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events were simulated, all coinciding with the 50% AEP tidal event. The 10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP tidal events were also simulated, all coinciding with the 50% AEP fluvial event. There are three critical structures in the model, all located in the AFA along the Croum River; these are 15COUM00044D (Footbridge over River Croum), 15COUM00042I (Road Access bridge over River Croum) and 15COUM00026D (Culvert under Hatchery Lane), which restrict flows during all return periods (10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP). Out-of-bank flooding only occurs in the 0.1% AEP event, due to the large capacity of the Croum River, and affects approximately 10 properties. During the fluvial events in Inistioge town, the capacity of the Croum River is shown to be adequate for most return periods (10% and 1% AEP). A limited amount of out-of-channel flooding occurs during the 0.1% AEP event, flooding a small number of properties on Hatchery Lane and Mill Road. During the tidal events in Inistioge town, the capacity of the Croum River is shown to be adequate for all modelled return periods (10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP). Extensive out-of-channel flooding occurs from the Nore River and Inistioge Link stream during all modelled fluvial and tidal return periods along the entire AFA and HPW reach. A longitudinal section included in Appendix A.2 shows water levels in the AFA during the 1% AEP event.flooding occurs adjacent to the GAA grounds, across a section of the R700 road through Inistioge town, and at approximately six properties in the AFAduring all modelled fluvialand tidal return periods. This is due to lack of capacity in the Nore River during high flows. Upstream and downstream of the AFA,extensive flooding occurs due to lack of capacity in the Nore River. The majority of the land flooded is grassland with minimal flooding to properties. During all return periods (10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial; 10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP tidal), significantflooding originates from the Inistioge Link stream and the Nore River, extending 1km downstream from its confluence with the downstream extent of the Inistioge link channel. This flooding is between 2m and 3m deep, affecting grassland and agricultural land adjacent to the River Nore. IBE0601Rp F02

These flows have been compared with the hydrology flow estimation and a percentage difference provided. The modelled peak flow at HEP 15_1996_1 (CoumCh ) is between 1,427% and 1,652% different when compared with the estimated peak flow in the fluvial events 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP. IBE0601Rp F02

34 The modelled peak flow is between 94% and 534% different when compared with the estimated peak flows during the 10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP tidal events. During these simulated events (10%, 1% and 0.1% Fluvial; 10% 0.5% and 0.1% AEP Tidal) the River Nore has very high water levels which exceed channel capacity on the right bank, flowing overland and connecting with the Croum River (upstream of the HEP) resulting in significant increases in modelled peak flow. This overland flow is the reason for the higher than estimated peak flows. The River Nore downstream of HEP 15_2002_9 is heavily tidally influenced and therefore reliable flow estimation is not possible. As a result, the difference between modelled flow and estimated flow at the downstream HEP 15_1839_1 is large. However, this difference was not considered to be significant, especially as the mass balance calculations do not indicate significant gains or losses of flow from the model. IBE0601Rp F02
