That is what I meant. If we enable the land to go back to its natural state, it will hold more water, which will mean there is an effect downstream on other land. There is a value in us doing that because it will improve conditions downstream and it might mean that flooding works are not required. The question is whether we are valuing the benefit from allowing rewetting.
