The recently dredged settlement, or interception pond at the head of the Valley is once more doing its job of slowing the flow. The leaky dams we've installed slow it even more. The slower the flow, the less damage such huge volumes of water do downstream from us.

Listen our Head of Infrastructure, Sophie, explain what we do when there's flooding in Oxford. Last week, we took part in an exercise to test Oxford emergency plans with the @EnvAgency @OxfordFAS @oxfordcity @OxonFireRescue #doinggood

We are pleased to announce that our IoT Tools are now open source and being used by @officialzsl in their ongoing fight to protect endangered animals from the illegal wildlife trade. Read more here: hubs.ly/H0q2pyy0 #IoT #opensource #techforgood #conservation
One thing can be said for all this #rain, is that it does make good conditions for checking our #naturalfloodmanagement features. The area in the background was a wet boggy area, now its been enhanced to hold and slow flows. @SCRiversTrust @catchmentdesign @EnvAgencyNW

One week later, another drone video of the #floods in #Shrewsbury. Taken at sunrise on the 25th Feb. This is pretty much as high as the water is going to get now, thank goodness. #ShrewsburyFloods

Let's talk flood PREVENTION as well as flood DEFENCE. Replanting trees and moss on the moors to retain water. Sustainable, cost-effective strategies to reduce flooding. #ClimateEmergency #sheffieldfloods #Sheffield @TimBirchWild @SheffCouncil @ShefEnvironment @ShefHallamLab

Before the industrial revolution only the shaded areas on this map lay >15 miles from the nearest navigable point on a river - & because rivers flow to the sea the latter might be seen as ’merely a river round England’ connecting the rivers & the communities that used them (1/2)

Great use of @gdsteam Notify plus forecast river level data & community generated impact information - not #opendata yet but should be in the future. #floodaware
