Wash Out!

It has been estimated that the UK will need to spend £1bn annually to deal with the effects of climate change on the flooding of property (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/09/climate-crisis-flooding-threat-may-force-uk-towns-to-be-abandoned). It has even been suggested that some towns (notably around the Humber and in Devon?) may have to be abandoned. Perhaps the costs of not sufficiently countering the  release of 'greenhouse gases' along with managing land without paying attention to drainage is starting to be more widely appreciated?
