Flooding - where to from here?

Time to design a solution.
Houses up on columns, not walls.
Columns may best resist the flow of water.
Most flood-waters don't come up to 1st floor.
Garden stores and garage space(s) on Ground Floor.
Essential services and everything valuable on the upper floors.
Generator/ sealed drinking water supply/solar and wind generators.
Great fun to be had designing the winches/lifts/ramps for disabled access.
Get fit every morning and evening going up and down to your house.
Should aim for about one week's self-sufficiency.
Hang a dinghy off the side of the house.
Mandatory design in flood plain areas.
Was that so hard to come up with?
Nope.

AND I'm not getting paid a six figure Senior Civil Servant salary for doing it either!

LOL!

Dredge the rivers.... especially in urban areas - simple.

Inspect all our flood walls, victorian quays etc to ensure they will not collapse under pressure.
Stop getting Reports written and actually start building proper defense'.
 
Remember a few years ago the River Tolka burst its banks. What was done then to resolve the problem.
 
Is there still a crazy plan to build a shopping centre and apartments right alongside the Dargle in Bray in what is a flood plain?
