WATER AND STORMWATER WORRIES

摘要

I worked on the Foresight Future Flooding study at the start of the millennium, advised Sir Michael Pitt and have produced numerous reports and guidance documents about surface water flood risks. Nothing has significantly changed in politicians' approach and behaviour to flooding since. We need to make it clear that we cannot afford to protect all the people all of the time. We can at least stop more building on flood plains, which at 10% a year currently is scandalous.
