Summary, etc. Argues that, as public bodies have no statutory duty to provide flood defences, there is encouragement for householders to undertake do-it-yourself flood defences. Such measures are not without risk of damage to other properties. No cases have been published directly concerning liabilities for damage resulting from these activities. Identfies cases which have similar relevant material facts, although not arising from flood defences. These include those concerning the receipt and passage of naturally flowing water, the increased passage of water to the property of others and the overtopping or failure of structures that have held back water are examined. Concludes that protecting one's property from flooding is legally a relatively safe activity. [Taken from journal abstract].
