The ground floor flat below me when I lived at the edge of London flooded for the first time after they finished the Thames barrier. Every time they raised the barrier tons of water were forced up the small stream slightly downhill from us.
Where did they think the water would go?

But to replace it will need masses of bank lifting downstream. Shame it does produce electricity.
