Pioneering work to slow the flow of water from the Quantock Hills down to the Somerset Levels is being funded by Somerset Rivers Authority. The project is partly a reaction to three unusually intense, localised storms that washed away around 1,200 tonnes of soil and gravel.
Three old ponds are being restored, and a series of dams created, in the pleasant Meeds Valley in Montacute near Yeovil.
