A short TV news item showing the effects of flash flooding in London caused by intense rainstorms, likely to be a consequence of climate change.

This poses a severe challenge to emergency services (and people). SUDS (sustainable urban drainage systems) are mentioned as one mitigation in use - there are now many such schemes in Enfield thanks to collaboration between the council and Thames 21.
