  Towns and villages are now suffering partly because of all the buildings and roads that have been built on flood plains.
  
  I wonder how much of the flooding would have been avoided if the more of the rural drains and ditches were regularly cleared or deepened. A farmer was complaining that a big overflow channel on his land had not been cleared of the silt that had built up in the bottom, he even said he would not mind if the silt was just left on his land.
