Clifton, Rawcliffe and Poppleton ings are temporary storage area (washland scheme) for water that flows down the River Ouse in York, England.
Approximately 2.3 million cubic metres of water is able to be stored here which lowers the flood level by about 150mm 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 and adding sluice gates as well as heightening the embankments to allow greater storage of water.
The design of the ings allow for accommodation of water for a medium order flooding.
In the event of a higher order flooding, the embankments allow overflow thus increasing capacity of the ings.
