Dig or raise reservoirs .Not a great choice. slowing it down is a good way so flows continue through the year with a massive amount of tree planting and making rivers more bendy. In Maidenhead they built of flood plain despite the river authority objections. Houses flooded. So they built a diversionary river

We’ll end up having to build reservoirs up, can’t build them down with all the alluvial/glacial gravels in place. Or simply relinquish towns and farmland back to the floods and the sea.
