In a project funded by the Environment Agency and the EU LIFE IP Natural Course programme and delivered by City of Trees in partnership with Oldham Council, The Unity Partnership (LLFA) and the Friends of Crompton Moor, the dams form just one part of the mosaic of measures being trialled on site to test how nature based solutions can reduce risk of flooding.
These dams are able to hold back significant volumes of water when it rains and then slowly releases the water over a much longer period of time compared to a free flowing river. This has the benefit of reducing the ‘peak’ flow of water thereby reducing flood risk to communities downstream.
