The 38 pumps (inc 4 from @SYFR) we have in place at 8 locations across South Yorks are removing over 14 cubic metres of water every second. With over 1million cubic meters pumped in the last 24 hours, #flood water in Fishlake has fallen from 2m at its height to 0.3m

Did you know #Christmas trees are used as part of our natural flood management work in Cumbria? Environment Agency manager, Mike Farrell, explains how trees successfully stop erosion of river banks.

Pleasure to discuss bringing the #NorthernForest to #York with Cllr. @AndrewWaller1, #Treemendous and #WhiteRoseForest this afternoon. @WoodlandTrust

If you know someone who’s always wanted to #GoFishing but needs a licence - Why not buy them one for Christmas? Then they can get out there and #GetFishing. Don’t forget there is only one place you need to go to get it – https://t.co/2uuBONIGQb #FishingLicence

[Gavin Usher @GavinUsherEA]

Really interesting to see and a good opportunity for me to discuss and learn about asset management in a different environment.

My local River Nidd spring cleaning itself - flushing away the dead leaves and branches and bones of winter.

[Gavin Tabiner @GavinTabinerEA]

#TeamEA have provided support to @RyedaleDC by supplying some additional pipework for one of their mobile water pumps. Strong partnerships mean we get the work done and support our communities in the best possible way. #Teamwork #northyorkshire #Watermanagement

Here's the scene from our Incident Room in #York. It's been open since Easter Sunday & will remain open 24/7 until levels return to normal levels #floodaware

[Yorkshire Flood Resilience @EnvAgencyYorkFR]

#TeamEA have been working around the clock to reduce #flood risk across #Yorkshire. Be #floodaware by checking your flood warnings near you at …https://t.co/YMTSGL0nOU

[Environment Agency - Yorkshire & North East @EnvAgencyYNE]

Here's our update at 10:00
10 Flood Warnings 20 Flood Alerts in #Yorkshire
River levels will remain high over the coming days.
We have officers & flood wardens on patrol.
The Foss Barrier, East Hull pumping station & other flood assets all operating. Stay safe, be #floodaware

[Norman Robinson @NRobinsonEA]

In Lincs all rivers remain high but dropping. One of the new flood storage reservoirs at Louth was used for the first time taking the peak of the flow and storing it for later safe release. Strong stream advice remains on the Ancholme #floodaware #proudtobelincs

[Adam Bayliss @AdamBaylissEA]

#TeamEA we’re inspecting a flood defence and it really shows the protection our defences offer.

If the bank & piles weren’t there that 4x4 would be about 4 meters under water #ProtectingInfrastructure

This photo was last night, levels are falling & but we’re still out and about
