@@Klaus_Nobbtake your blinkers off my friend , when we were a nation shipping Cole and Grain on our Waterways we used to dredge canals and rivers , , the last flood of Gloucester was in 2007 through none maintenance of the river seven .

Go back to dredging all the rivers and canals like they used to. They are probably half the depth they should be now due to silt and debris. Build developments with soakaways and membrane to replace the loss of natural land membrane which holds water.

How do we stop communities from being devastated by flooding? The answer is we don't and shouldn't, any more than we should stop houses from falling in to the sea due to coastal erosion. The public purse cannot sustain the vast sums of money it will take to protect a relatively small number of properties, nor are the costs in doing so justfiable. Homeowners whose houses or businesses whose properties are at risk have a clear choice : to ensure that they have adequate insurance or to move !
I appreciate the honesty, even if it seems rather uncaring, it is a choice made by people and businesses and they need to take out insurance or mitigate their risks … by moving to an alternative location, for example
Plant all the trees back that we removed ..simple it’s not rocket science it’s fact we removed them to make room for farming and now look so simply put the trees back and bingo
Block up upland peat drains to enable them to act as a sponge. Stop grants for upland sheep that puddle [seal] the surface of the soil promoting run off, and plant trees on hill slopes and moors to retain water. One can't do so much in lowlands , but then the majority of hill land is unviable for farming without grants: and hills acre for acre get far more rain. Basically pay hill farmers to stop farming [at our expense] and turn uplands into forests, which will also have a positive effect on global warming by tying up carbon.
By using taxespayers money in building amd maintaining infrastructure, unfortunately politicians are too greedy and are taking this money for their own benefits
Simple. Pump out road gulleys and dredge rivers,just like they did years ago. Not rocket science is it. It’s not climate change,it’s lack of council maintenance due no doubts to costs.
To any hydraulic/drainage engineer there no such thing as flooding. If we want to water to go away quickly it can be done either by (1) increase the slope - that requires dredging the river bed or lay the pipe at a steeper gradient. (2) Increase the cross section the water can flow - use a bigger or more drain and again make the river wider and deeper by dredging. These can be found in any flow formula be it the Darcy-Weisbach equation, Chezy equation, Colebrook-White equation or Hazen-william formula used anywhere in the world. Personally I don't think the local authority even employs people to unclock the choked drains, that has the accumulated rubbish and silt reducing the flow cross section and the gradient flattened, or has any drainage engineer in the payroll to look at the flooding cause. So go with the environment engineer and accept flooding is due to climate change and live with it.
it`s not going to get anybetter, shouldnt really be a surprise especially when living near a river. landslides and god knows what else. our infrastructure is poor, resources are non existent and we are arming another country who's at war. if we dont get ahead of the future weather now, we will be in big trouble.

I know. Tbe pump system will have its own built in generators and power lines. The generator ls will only be active when a flood is expected. I know it will take alot of money to run th generators but it most cases it should be cheaper than repairing the damage caused by the flooding
We can make the difference by first better understanding the water cycle and how our diverse management aspects have have been damaging to it. I cite chemica/mechanical l agriculture in the significant destruction of soil. The same with grazing management Both of these destroy healthy water infiltration. Then add the fundamenals of our artificial habitats and societal systems.....
This would have been a great question to ask, answer and do around 10 years ago. Now I guess we all just get inflatable dinghys and not buy anything to valuable for the house.
Put people and the enviroment first over corporations and personal profit. We know how to stop flooding there just isn't the political will because of lobbying, cronyism, and conflicts of interest generaly.
Fix the drainage. 1/3rd of the Netherlands is under sea level, yet they don't have a flooding problem. Our drainage system has been chronically underfunded for decades, this is the inevitable result. If the Government had left drainage repairs/upgrades alone instead of trying to _save_ money, we wouldn't now need to _spend_ it all to fix the serious issues that choice left us with. 100% of these floods were directly caused by Government incompetence, penny-pinching and selling off the water companies for a 'profit' that the public now has to pay for.
The government has know money to build flood PREVENTION! in there eyes only happens once a year like Mp's care living there rich lifestyle while everyone else struggles!!!
What financial help is Sunak providing these flood victims? - while he continues to send unaccountable billions of taxpayers money to his bromance chum Zelensky.
A good start would be to stop building houses on flood plains.
Glad someone speaking out well done.U not band from utube for 24 hours are u.Sad times
Very simple answer. Build proper flood prevention ditches and. Storm sewers
Stop building on flood plains
And also clean the road galleys
On it's own that's not going to work. Simplistic. Warmer air holds more moisture so areas that rarely if ever flooded before are now flooding.
Very simple..invent a Time Machine..go back 5 decades..stop burning fossil fuels..
Fart in the wind mate. Nothing can stop what's coming now.
Start Dredging the Rivers on a regular basis like was always done in the past. It's that simple!
Absolutely spot on, dredge rivers and clear ditches, build reservoirs.

Well they have to modify the weather so they can push climate change.
Pull the plug. Works every time.

Build a huge berm and build huge ditches. And pumps if necessary
Don't build communities down near the water. It's not a disaster but just the way weather works.
