If more people move to the area, the change to city water can affect drainage systems as more people are consuming more water. Flooding can result from this. It can also have an economic impact on water delivery companies as more people will move away from water cisterns.]]> 2020-12-07 16:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/durkaea/ztojtcdbcet96bh4/wish/994722979 https://padlet.com/durkaea/ztojtcdbcet96bh4/wish/998815237 I think developing on the green belt is a bad idea because this land is meant for agriculture. Taking away from farming areas is not a good idea and can cause more water problems such as floods. This is protected farmland and not to be changed to residential, they can build new houses somewhere else. ]]> 2020-12-08 16:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/durkaea/ztojtcdbcet96bh4/wish/998815237
