Who are Slow The Flow Calderdale? Constituted charitable organisation Promotion of Natural Flood Management (NFM) principles Working capital funded by Hebden Royd Town Council, Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge and Calderdale Council and fundraising Securing grants from central Government to carry out projects in Calder Valley Partnering with The EA, CMBC, NT, Treesponsibility & The Source Partnership Impacting on the entire catchment from Todmorden, Waldsen, Cornholme to Sowerby Bridge, Copley, Elland and Brighouse. Our objective is simple: To slow the flow from the upper catchment to the main river channel thereby reducing the flood peak and limiting out of bank flow……… Squashing the Curve…………

Squashing The Curve Ade to present slide

Natural Flood Management Features Upland drainage Riverbank restoration Non Floodplain wetlands Sediment traps Floodplain restoration Woodlands planted Leaky wooded dams and water flow management

1. Hardcastle Crags Pilot Project A Natural Flood Management Pilot Project in Hardcastle Crags To Slow The Flow from the upper catchment into the River Calder Installation of leaky dams and gully stuffing in brooks & ditches Using fallen trees and other natural materials already in situ Over 100 volunteers working with us 5-7 year plan being developed with the EA and NT Engaging with others working in NFM – research projects and academics X 15 Time Lapse Cameras to monitor effects of interventions

Monitoring the leaky dams the using x15 Brinno Time lapse Cameras

2. River Level Monitoring Citizen Science project to measure river levels around the catchment Ultrasonic technology to measure river levels Working with Moors For The Future & Oxford Flood Network And to provide online and real time river levels for public engagement

3. You Can Slow The Flow! SuDs (Sustainable Drainage systems) www.slowtheflow.net/you-can-slow-the-flow/

How Can You Help? Funds to continue our work using volunteers and within the community Talk about how NFM can contribute to flood alleviation Promote our educational programmes – HC & SuDS Come and help with the construction of leaky dams & gully stuffing Identify other areas for attenuation and intervention Do you own or manage land in the upper catchment? SPEAK TO A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM
