Shouldn't it be the inverse? If you build too close to a river and your land floods that's on you.

MODERATORS
No, too far from a river and its an act of God which at least in the us is in addition to standard homeowners insurance.
Ed: too close to the river and most insurance companies require a level of flood protection. Most will in fact have maps off coverage areas that require it.
For insurance purposes probably but it’s not that right? Government fund? Still crappy for them.
I mean... "What are the farmers protesting about? The main trigger for the protests are proposals in the Welsh government’s sustainable farming scheme (SFS) – its post-Brexit plan for funding the industry from 2025. One of the ideas is that farmers should commit to ensuring 10% of their land is under tree cover. Farmers argue this would be costly, unpractical and leave them overwhelmed with paperwork"
Shame, trees are great at preventing/reducing flooding and holding the soil together so it doesn't get washed away.
Ah… bureaucracy in all its splendor
"See that water flowing through my barn? I think that counts as a river now"
I smell something amiss. Are we sure that this photo is representative of the actual issue? I think this picture may be rage baiting for a cause.
