This reduces the footprint of the required storage to a minimum and saving on land and construc- tion costs. HydroSlides can be configured to provide varying 'stepped' flow rates to cater for discharge from increasing storm return flow outputs, further optimising tank design.

They are configured to be ready to roll – users just wheel them to the location, plug them in and switch them on. while there is no doubt that the country's flood defences have received a significant boost since the last major floods of 2007, there is still a long way to go to protect society at large from the devastating effects of flooding. This starts with better communication and getting this message across to the nation's decision makers is therefore critical, it said.
