Maybe if the rivers were cleaned up it might get rid of water quicker
@Max: your not allowed clean them out anymore.
@Max: Dredging rivers on a large scale was done in the 50′s and 60′s under the
Arterial Drainage Act, 1945. It was a measure to stop annual winter flooding of fields.
The rivers were deepened and widened and large flood banks built with the material.
The environmental impacts were huge. Salmon could no longer swim upstream in shallow rivers. Migratory water birds such as geese and ducks disappeared for lack of flooded fields.
There is a scheme to raise the river banks in Midelton, but without the worst side effects.
