This has been 1 day but it's forecast to ease overnight and stop in the morning, it's already less heavy than it was earlier. We get these threads every time we have a big downpour now! And crap about Hillsborough being "prone" to flooding when its happened once in over 120 years. well when the Don breaks it’s banks at Meadowhall again (as in 2007) I think this time it might be pretty serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people at the club have had the sense to actually try precautions this time, sandbags etc. Did they actually improve defences e.g. higher barriers next to the river, after last time?

The council / environmental agency spent millions clearing the rivers so water could move better, I guess in the next 12 hours we’ll see how they did. unlike 2007 tho the large amount of leaves that have fallen in the past few weeks will be an issue with drains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aingarth Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Don’t want to be negative but it is now as bad here in Ecclesfield as in 2007 with flooding now quite widespread in spite of significant work since 2007 to prevent flooding. 2007 was in June but now it is happening on land already saturated by 4 weeks almost continual rain. it could be touch and go.

From memory - wasn't there some sort of drainage system from the ground directly into the river but there was no way of preventing water from the river "backing up" and entering the ground. But that once the floods had reduced they put some sort of valve system in to prevent this. Hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
