In this #ClimateEmergency, so much more work needed to #SlowTheFlow, to change landuse and acknowledge human limits in the face of natural forces

Flood warnings are in place across the South East after Storm Chandra. 🌧️
On the upper River Mole, nature-based solutions are already working: a leaky dam in Ruben’s Ghyll is holding back fast-rising water, while 600+ new hedgerow whips over 250m help slow runoff and protect communities. #SlowTheFlow
Our CEO Charlotte Hitchmough talking on BBC Points West about the importance of slowing and storing water upstream in the Kennet catchment to reduce flooding.
A great 2 minute piece, also feat Marlborough Town Council & local resident & ARK volunteer Val Compton. #slowtheflow #nfm #suds
💧The Fyfield wetland, next to a stretch of the upper Kennet is filling up nicely 💧
Wetlands help store water and can reduce flooding. Wetlands also filter pollutants and increase biodiversity. #wetlands #slowtheflow
It’d be interesting to learn if there’s a good reason why car parks can’t be paved with concrete grid paving, which allows water to soak away rather than running off #SlowTheFlow
Should require planning permission for paving gardens, and require permeable paving for these?
#GreatSaltLake management has opportunity to effect positive change through informed and innovative practice of capping reservoir storage.

Utahns, are your automatic sprinklers turned off? Enjoy this beautiful rain. ☔️

Anyone know why #Grasscrete isn’t more widespread for drives/car parks?

More great work from the WRT Operations Team delivering DRIP (Devon Resilience Innovation Project) in Bampton! Making use of materials on site, from some alder stools they built leaky woody dams to slow the flow and reduce flood risk downstream.

Some snaps from leaky dam installation at Hetton Bogs yesterday, as part of our Links with Nature project. The channel had become deeply incised; these structures aim to slow flow, trap silt, rebuild the bed, and reconnect the stream with its wet woodland floodplain.💧🌳🪵🔨 #SlowTheFlow
Last week we led a tour of our Slow the Flow work at Wilderhope as part of the Shropshire Hills Summer Forum 🌱

Do you know just how effective #NaturalFloodManagement is?🌳
Recent investigations have found that a woodland in #Cumbria was able to #slowtheflow of #floodwater by 14-50% compared to that of pasture land!🚜

Please Utahns who live along the Wasatch Front: turn off your sprinkler systems. All that rain negates the need to water!

Exciting news from Ashlands School in Ilkley! 4 new SuDS planters have been installed to help manage rainwater & 'slow the flow', protecting the local system.
Bioscapes will teach 30 pupils about the planters' function & their nature-friendly benefits for bees, bugs & wildlife! #SuDS #SlowTheFlow
New blocked ditch with little pools/scrapes to hold water
Self-seeded baby Rowan tree
Digger starting work
The wetland area that is currently drying out but will soon become wetland
Big things happening above Braithwaite!
We’re blocking old drainage ditches to rewet wetlands & slow the flow downstream.
Healthier land, less flood risk, more space for nature 🌿
More to come as the landscape comes back to life.

🌳 We planted 1,500 trees along the Alder Stream!
With help from amazing volunteers, these trees will:
💧 Slow rainwater run-off
🌊 Reduce flood risk
🌿 Boost biodiversity
A big win for people, wildlife & water!
