@joshua_drummond all that and we can work collaboratively to fix infrastructure to cope and engage with local iwi who may have knowledge of water patterns in area too. Water falls and flows away IF drainage is adequate, channels are maintained and buildings aren't at lowest points in a flood plain or a valley. Work on #ThreeWaters aka #ThreePipes is a start but more community led thinking is needed

There will also be questions about maintenance of local drains in low lying areas @thirzajane Rain falls from the sky, we can't stop that but where does it go next and how quickly can water infrastructure move it on? Is this something #ThreeWaters aka #ThreePipes could help with?
