This was mooted as the 'result' of our works in every meeting I attended
It seems logical if you allow twice the volume through a stretch of river than previous then all ports downstream will struggle with the extra volumes that's being exported?
Sadly the works were near overtopped in last years flooding but it appears, now, that this was due to the amount of works still needing completion forming extra 'dams' from Hebden to 'Royd?
Now the heavy pulses of persistent rain have not troubled the gauge here in the way it has downstream?
I'm sorry you've inherited our problem Fazza!
Fortunately for me personally it’s my stretch of river I fish and won’t effect me personally as it’s not my doorstep but changing something upstream would obviously change something downstream

Our Top flood warden just posted on the New Bridge here in 'royd;
"I have checked the level of water in the river at the new bridge site in Mytholmroyd and is interesting to see the difference widening the channel has done. It looks like it has done the trick but we will see over the years to come how it performs in reducing the Flood Risk for the village."
I tell you if we ever get an event to overtop us here at the bridge site there will have already been catastrophe's a plenty downstream of us!!!
Further down is being effected

Well the 2 areas measured on the lower Calder are either well over or very close as seen on the below
Birkwood well over and Methley close
Seems better if that’s a phrase higher stretch of the Calder

The Current rains have 'upped' tomorrows peak river level forecast from the Environment Agency to 4.15m (whilst the plot is still on the up & up)
I do hope the projections are based on the old river channels performance and not this, as of now, 'untested' enlarged channel!
2.52m measured here from 2.13m 4hrs ago so creeping up

Maybe you can let us know if our flood works here in the Upper Calder do impact on how fast/how much water you get these days Fazz?

Think it was just before lunch today. Yellow warning area extended and Amber released around the same time.
Ah ok
Do quite a bit of fishing and can’t get on the Calder near me as very full and this week won’t help with any snow melt
local pond in a dip so that’s about 2ft higher than normal which is not a problem but it’s frozen bloody solid
rill on May

When did we actually go under the Amber Warning for all the rain thought it was yellow??

We came close to having all 32 hours of snow falling, temp coming home from work yesterday evening 2'C and going to work at 5.30 this morning it was still 2'C.
A degree lower with slightly colder uppers and we could have been buried in it now.
That would have been some measuring feet not inches
