United Utilities has extended dam maintenance work at one of Anglezarke Reservoir’s historic dams – the work is now set to continue until the end of the year.

The Environment Agency led a training exercise at Rugeley flood storage area in Staffordshire this weekend, to rehearse emergency plans in the event of a major incident at the dam.

Work has been completed to restore part of the Nant Gain river in Cilcain. The £2 million restoration project was completed ahead of schedule by the not-for-profit water company, Welsh Water.

NASA Harvest says the catastrophic collapse of Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam which supplies water to large areas of the Black Sea region’s most productive agricultural lands has resulted in the disconnection of three of the four major canal inlets vital for farm irrigation.

A partnership project between the National Trust, Yorkshire Water and the Woodland Trust has announced a landmark programme of work to restore and improve the UK’s uplands – the organisations will work together to create 350 hectares of woodland, install thousands of natural flood management interventions and restore peatland.

More than 20 natural features have been constructed to bolster flood protection in the North East as part of a pioneering £2.1 million natural flood management project.

Bristol Water will remotely monitor its 15 dams from space using pioneering DAMSAT satellite technology.

A major civil engineering project involving floating cranes and silent piling is currently underway at a reservoir near Heathrow Airport to help keep taps flowing in London for at least another 120 years.

Sensor technology used in conjunction with satellites is being used to enhance monitoring of a North East reservoir dam, following a successful pilot project.

The UK Space Agency has extended the funding for HR Wallingford, enabling the water research specialists to broaden its space-based dam monitoring system, DAMSAT, to include water dams in a bid to reduce the risk of failures.
