Bede Mullen chair of Slow the Flow said: "The purpose of the roadshow is to highlight relatively simple things we can all do to reduce flood risk, whether building leaky dams and planting trees in upland areas, or creating rain gardens or green rooves in our homes and businesses."
"We want to get the word out that whilst climate change and more major flood events are inevitable, Together we can slow the flow".
The Together We Can Slow the Flow roadshow was funded by the National Lottery Together For Our Planet fund and West Yorkshire Prepared.
