Alan Herd
A native of Hickling , a village in south Nottinghamshire near to Melton Mowbray and the border with Leicestershire , Herd was concerned about the increasing flood risk across the world , and developed a defence system called "Wata-Wall" , a flexible barrage system of portable interlocking plastic containers which are assembled into an array then filled with water for stability , creating a temporary dam .
