Nearly two million homes and
businesses, lie in natural river and coastal floodplains around
England and Wales. The Environment Agency's provide a general
overview of areas of land in natural floodplains and therefore
potentially at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea. These
areas are based upon historical flood records and geographical
models. They indicate where flooding from rivers, streams,
watercourses or the sea is possible.
Hebden Bridge lies on an area that
is part of a natural flood plain, so consequently those homes
near the Cragg Vale are at risk of flooding. |
| Yorkshire /England in general
is an area on earth that rarely needs the spiritual power of a
Rain Stick to summon to the Gods the desire for rain to make the
crops grow and supply food and water for our animals, a device
to summon the sun to appear would be of more use at times. So in
an area that is prone to torrential rain with gale force wind at
any time of the year, it would be ironic to come across a giant
Rain-Stick, jutting out of the woodland. |

I ask YOU to call out to Zeus
the God of the skies the rain God. With my Rain-Stick, turn the
axel causing the rain to fall producing a sound which will echo
through the valley making sure the Gods hear its cries for miles
around |
