As the sea rises and storms get stronger, movable flood barriers are going to be used more often.
On one stretch of Nottingham’s River Trent, floods that arrived every 50 years now return in ten.
The storm came from an unusual direction and dumped exceptional amounts of rain along the east coast.
A new study shows that river barriers, similar to those built by beavers, can protect areas at risk of flooding by storing water upstream.
Warnings can now be sent to everyone in a place likely to be flooded – not just those who opt-in.
