Flooding solution?
In Madeira, a sub-tropical island well known for its high rainfall in the mountains, they use levadas for moving water around to parts that get less water and for drainage.
South Terrace has a natural water outlet close by – the River Arun.

Perhaps the insurance companies could be coerced into funding this type of project.
