text:
Clifton, Rawcliffe and Poppleton ings are temporary storage area for water that flows down the River Ouse in York, England. Approximately 2,300,000 cubic metres (81,000,000 cu ft) of water is able to be stored here which lowers the flood level by about 150 mm (5.9 in) in the city. Sluice gates on the north and south side allow water to enter and leave. During the summer months the grassland is used by local farmers to graze their cattle. In 1982, £1.25 million, was spent on increasing the height
