well i hope the brisben river dose not flood again cause i dont want to have my family to stay with me cause my house is all ways full with them in the house done from lara duncan
could you make the ideas go on for longer I didn’t know it was open
I say install backflow valves so water only flows one way and never back up to milton and rosalie. It was a dreadful experince that can be fixed with the use of one way valves and possibily pumps to pump water back into the river if there is over land water accumulating past the valves
You want to know my idea? Well there is only one that will work. You can simply not build a barrier over queensland or some other crazy idea that will cost millions or thousands of dollars. My idea is build a safe area. A mountain or a hill. Somewhere water will not reach and flood. A hill? A mountain?
