A hovering drying machine (10) for removing liquid from an area of ground over which the liquid has spread. The drying machine (10) comprises a frame structure (12), a flexible skirt (14) mounted about a perimeter of the frame structure (12), means for propelling air, and means for diverting air. The propelling means includes a motor driven fan (20). The frame structure (12) is fabricated so as to define a duct (32) about the fan (20) and the duct (32) provides a flow of air to both a main flow passage and an auxiliary flow passage (36) which are separated by a dividing wall or splitter plate (38). The diverting means includes the auxiliary flow passage (36) which extends substantially across the frame structure (12) and at opposing ends connects to a respective flexible hose (40).
