Flooding is a serious problem that that is life-changing and life-threatening. More so with the increase of violent storms over the past few years. Research in the U.K. has showed that using natural run-off solutions such as catchments, clustering forest trees along rivers actually slow down water going down to low lying areas and give people time to prepare and evacuate if necessary. Diverting highland water into rainwater cisterns might also be a green technology for keeping community water storage for off-grid situations.
