Here in Lothian, Threipmuir, Harlaw and Harperrig reservoirs are vital components of the flood protection scheme, so it is satisfying that they will come under SEPA's watchful eye.Finally, the bill's requirement for a mapping exercise to be undertaken to identify areas that are at risk of flooding will produce for the first time a document that can be checked when someone is considering buying a house. That will reduce the risk that they will purchase a house that subsequently turns out to be at risk from flooding and uninsurable.We might not have a small boy to plug a hole in our dyke, but the bill offers an even better alternative and commands my support.
