Your right Bill - we're quite low lying here in our part of East Anglia (just a few feet above sea level) and parts of our village have suffered quite serious flooding twice in recent years, though fortunately we escaped it.

Despite that, right now one of the parts that was worst hit last time is having several hundred new houses built on it with very little sign of any significant drainage improvements and no flood protection what so ever - madness
