The power of nature is awesome. For man, beast and environment, the consequences of extreme events like floods can be catastrophic. But it is not just nature that is to blame for these disasters. While we go about our daily business, our waterways are quietly silting up, and this at a time when rainfall is increasing. Sudden downpours cause thousands of tons of water and rubble to thunder down clogged up hillsides and into towns and villages via rivers and streams that cannot cope. The warning signs are clear for those who know where to look, and engineer Sean Kelly is on a mission to expose the problem and call for immediate action. In the revealing and alarming book he explains what is happening, what needs to be done, and why we need to act fast.
