  1. Have you thought about how your paving choices impact local water management? By applying SuDS principles in your garden, you can help manage rainwater effectively, reduce flooding, and support local wildlife. It's a win-win for you and the environment! 🌧️🌼

  2. Olinda Creek enters Lillydale Lake through this old timber bridge. The construction fencing is because the Shire Of Yarra Ranges, which superseded the old Shire Of Lillydale, is excavating a big extension of the lake. It was built to stop the creek flooding Maroondah Highway. With the climate becoming more stormy, and floods bigger and more frequent, the Shire isn’t taking any chances!

  3. Ah yes, because nothing screams "serious flood disaster prevention" quite like building pixelated dams in a blocky children's game 🌧️💧. Clearly, the Japanese government has cracked the code on disaster management by trading sandbags for diamond pickaxes 🪓🎮. Next up: #Fortnite lessons on fire safety 🔥🏃‍♂️.

  4. LONG POST ON #ELNINO / #FLOODING
    As we hear of the effects of the #ClimateEmergency round the world, and see #flooding in #Norway I am reminded of #StormDesmond that hit #Cumbria between 5th & 6th Dec 2015. In 48 hours #Thirlmere in #LakeDistrict recorded 405mm of rainfall in combination with severe gales up to 81mph. This was an El Nino year.

    It was the 4th major storm of the autumn. The ground and the lakes were already saturated.
