Welcome to Floodgates

Floodgates are an essential part of Herefordshire's infrastructure, as the county is prone to flooding due to its location near the River Wye. The floodgates are designed to prevent water from entering homes and businesses during times of heavy rainfall or flooding. They are strategically placed in areas that are most vulnerable to flooding, such as low-lying areas and near the riverbanks. Floodgates are made of durable materials such as steel and concrete to withstand the force of the water and are operated manually or automatically.

One of the most important floodgates in Herefordshire is the one located in the city center. This floodgate is designed to protect the historic buildings and businesses in the area from flooding. The floodgate is operated manually and is closed when the river reaches a certain level. The floodgate has been in place for many years and has prevented significant damage to the city center during times of flooding.

Another important floodgate in Herefordshire is located in the town of Ross-on-Wye. This floodgate is designed to protect the town's residential areas from flooding. The floodgate is operated automatically and is closed when the river reaches a certain level. The floodgate has been in place for many years and has prevented significant damage to the town's homes and properties during times of flooding. The floodgate is regularly maintained to ensure that it is in good working order and can be relied upon during times of need.
