Flood and Water Management Bill

There are clearly instances when the groundwater is not in contact with the soil and there is a gap between the surface of the ground and where the aquifer or the underground range takes place. There are times when that drainage does not come to the surface, but it is an important feature of flooding when it does come to the surface.
