Upper Mole Flood Alleviation Scheme
- 1) Raise the dam at Clays Lake to provide enlarged flood storage protecting passengers of the London-Brighton main line railway, also people living in Maidenbower, Crawley.[3]
- 2) Provision of a new flood detention dam (FDR) at Worth Farm to add additional resilience to flood alleviation of the M23 motorway.[3]
- 3) A river restoration scheme at Grattons Park nature reserve, involving the replacement of the existing straight concrete channel with a natural meandering earth channel.[3]
- 4) The raising of the dam at Tilgate Lake to provide additional flood storage, protecting hundreds of homes vulnerable to flooding in Furnace Green, Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Tinsley Green and Horley.[3]
