Alan Herd Explained

Alan Herd is a British artisan, a specialist woodworker and TV presenter of hobby and restoration projects often screened on Discovery Real Time TV channels.[1]

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. All association with "Wata-Wall" and Willy Johnson has now ceased but invention is still a big part of Alan's life.[2]
