All the info is on the Open Studios page Flood defence dam. The environment agency explains what it is doing to improve the dam spillway. See the Palmer's dam page About Harbertonford Harbertonford is a village of about 300 houses, 5 km south of Totnes in the region of the South Hams. It lies in the valley of the Harbourne river which is a tributary of the Dart. The river has a steep gradient and has served a string of water mills. Upstream is the latest major construction in the village - the flood defence dam, which does close its sluices occasionally. So the village has remained dry, until July 2012. The picture shows the village centre: the post office stores, with an unusually broad and interesting assortment of things to eat and the tamed Harbourne river in the foreground. The village has a pub, garage, primary school, church, several small businesses and many self employed people.
