Three pumps control the discharge of water down the 300 metre whitewater course allowing the Centre to control flow rates thereby altering the course's difficulty and skill Levels required to paddle it. The Centre and whitewater course will truly be an exciting sporting adventure for the complete novice or the expert paddlers and provide 'Access for All'.
