England: 4.6million properties are at risk of surface water flooding, through rainfall.
This is climate change, but also just paving over too much surface, and having limited drainage capacity.
Too much drainage capacity, like the Netherlands, can be bad too: NL now suffers droughts, so we need more *natural* storage capacity, not just flush water to the sea ASAP.

A hard rain’s a-gonna fall: why are we ignoring the rising risk of surface water flooding?
New modelling puts 4.6mn English properties at risk from rain that falls faster than the ground can absorb it — a jump of 43 per cent on a year ago. Insurers are beating a retreat, but few homeowners are prepared to accept they are vulnerableHugo Cox (Financial Times)
Expect to see an increasing amount of this sort of thing over the coming years. Especially “Aorta do something”.
