Take a look at our new #weather station dashboard! It displays real time and historic data which is freely available for #educational use. More info available here https://t.co/lhLQk7G900
The recently dredged settlement, or interception pond at the head of the Valley is once more doing its job of slowing the flow. The leaky dams we've installed slow it even more. The slower the flow, the less damage such huge volumes of water do downstream from us.
Listen our Head of Infrastructure, Sophie, explain what we do when there's flooding in Oxford.
Last week, we took part in an exercise to test Oxford emergency plans with the @EnvAgency@OxfordFAS@oxfordcity @OxonFireRescue

We are pleased to announce that our IoT Tools are now open source and being used by @officialzsl in their ongoing fight to protect endangered animals from the illegal wildlife trade. Read more here: https://t.co/FP3EPkv5tT #IoT#opensource#techforgood#conservation
@aallan@paul_tanner This doesn't actually answer your question, sorry. But terminal availability/network coverage chicken and egg is at the crux of any capacity and infra deployment.
@aallan@paul_tanner The application can drive the coverage if numbers are good, but building your own network will kill many business models. Site acquisition is a massive task. LoRaWAN partnership offers a hybrid, but a big risk to someone building it. Needs mutiple national applications.
@aallan@paul_tanner But looking as an application you'd have to fund that coverage yourself. Having certainty on national coverage means you can concentrate on the application. (We use LoRaWAN for your stated reasons though)
One thing can be said for all this #rain, is that it does make good conditions for checking our #naturalfloodmanagement features.
The area in the background was a wet boggy area, now its been enhanced to hold and slow flows.

One week later, another drone video of the #floods in #Shrewsbury. Taken at sunrise on the 25th Feb. This is pretty much as high as the water is going to get now, thank goodness. #ShrewsburyFloods
