Tears and celebrations as Shropshire river 'wiggle' restored (www.bbc.co.uk)

An 18-month-long project to "re-wiggle" a river after more than a century has been successfully completed prompting "tears and celebrations".

A section of the River Kemp, in south Shropshire, had been straightened by landowners in the 1800s, disconnecting it from its natural floodplain and reducing biodiversity.

Now water is flowing in the meander again, after it was restored in a project led by Severn Rivers Trust (SRT) and involved local landowners.

I presume that will slow the water down too? Does that make it more or less difficult to drown in mysteriously?
