Mind you, in slightly longer experience, I can't claim the same;
though in the past decade the local creek has achieved three of its
highest five or six floods in nearly 100 years of records. (But it's
not only climate that may have changed fairly dramatically in this
catchment. No doubt farming and urbanisation have also taken a toll.)


yes in the UK we have seen a lot of flooding events due to unwise building
on the flood plain etc altering catchments. As this is all overseen by the
planning authorities it isn't really a good advert for the planning system
