[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7806371, member: 3566"] What I think this highlights is the problems with centralised over-generalised policies from people with qualifications rather than experience. As farmers, we know that every decision we make has different consequences over different time periods and that the success or failure of a decision can be decided by weather events that are largely unpredictable. Faster flows will be due to more extreme weather events but also because all developments have been required to deal with rainwater as fast as possible. Trying to get farms to 'hold water back' is just a cover for the lack of any contingency in the developed areas. Silting is a natural process which is vital to the local flora and fauna in some areas while being a risk to the same, in others. Decisions need to be made by local, knowledgeable people. [/QUOTE]
