Is flooding inevitable?

Recent arial filming of flooded areas highlighted the need for trees and greenspace.
Housing estates with concreted paths and gardens meant that excess of rainwater had nowhere to drain into...

Building on greenspace without leaving sufficient earth, shrubbery and trees to take care of the water is bound to lead to flooding.

Trees draw water up through their roots and release it slowly into the atmosphere, thisway, trees, especially enmasse as in woodlands and forests are able to slow down the movement of water around the planet.

Small trees in small gardens and bigger trees in larger gardens are an asset.

Advice for dealing with future flooding:
Scientists are telling us that rainfall will increase....
Here is a few point plan to help you ensure that you can cope, especially if you live in a town where the planners have forgotten to preserve greenspace and trees:

1. Build a shed on stilts in the garden so that you can climb into it when the water levels rise.

2. Keep a rowing boat ready with some food supplies easily available to grab ready for the floods.

3. Move your kitchen upstairs, then at least your appliances will not be damaged by the flooding and you can recover quicker.

4. Make sure your garden is not concreted or paved over so that water can drain somewhere...have trees at the bottom of the garden to draw the water off.

or...

to avoid all this; write to your MP and local planning office and ask them to start putting trees and greenspace back into the English landscape and to preserve the trees, woodlands, forests and greenspace already here.
