Mr. Jim Casey:
As I said earlier, there may be multiple sources of flooding. We have to collate the data and carry out surveys. In some cases, involving environmentally sensitive areas, the carrying out of surveys requires statutory consent. We must undertake detailed analysis and develop sophisticated hydrological and hydraulic modelling. Subsequently, we have to come up with a scheme that will actually solve the problem and will stand up to judicial reviews, legal challenges and so on.
