18th April is the centenary of the flooding of Skemorlie in Scotland due to the failure of a reservoir. It resulted in the deaths of five people within the village. The BDS has been supporting the local committee with preparations for the commemorations. We have sponsored a memorial to the event which will be displayed in the community. We would like to offer our thanks to Martin Deane of Mott MacDonald who presented to the community in March on reservoir disasters, legislation, and current work on reservoirs. We would also like to thank Stephen Lockett of Mott MacDonald for offering to represent the BDS at the event on 18th April.
