520 _aLooks into the summer floods of 2007 and considers measures which could be taken to prevent similar incidents in future. Argues that the severity was worse as previous efforts have focused on river and coastal flooding, rather than surface and groundwater flooding. Suggests regulation of the public drainage and sewerage system to reduce the likelihood of such an impact happening again. Favours the Government's Water Strategy Policy aimed at paving with more porous materials, and greater use of sustainable urban drainage systems. Argues for a long-term view and exploratory studies.
