Re: Floods: Over A Month's Rain In 24 Hours

they need to stop building on flood plains and close to water courses and rather than endless attempts to make better defenses start moving those already in those areas out

The big problem is that thanks to the planning system, its a lot easier to build on a floodplain than on the sacred green belt.

Let's hope the new towns we're going to need to build to accommodate our rapidly growing population don't get built on flood plains.

As mentioned, when you have 300mm/12"+ rainfall in 24 hours its going to cause issues, no matter how much you try and sort it. That water has to go somewhere.

or make them floatable ;)
