Weardale Natural Flood Management Project

The pioneering £2.1m Weardale natural Flood Management project, which will bolster flood protection in County Durham, is complete.
The series of 25 nature-based flood risk solutions includes storage basins, wooden leaky barriers and timber fences, all of which hold water back on the land during times of heavy rainfall. They reduce flood risk across 41km2 (16 miles2) to communities including Lanehead, Wearhead, Westgate and Stanhope.
The combined storage of the features has the capacity to hold back approximately 10,000m3 of water, the equivalent of four Olympic sized swimming pools!

Wait a second - is this what you're doing with our tax money? It's disturbing to watch - 15 million pounds spent on building fences from wood. From wood! Do you know some of the characteristics of wood and water? This is ridiculous. I have fences made of food, and these fences aren't even meant to catch water - they are rotten in my back garden! This is kindergarten-level knowledge! And this woman is trying to explain how it will serve the community for 24 months, maybe! What is the 15 million paying for? It won't solve anything! Next time, consider wearing a lab coat when explaining what will happen-it will add more expertise!
