Please note that on the list of places on flood watch in the KN article are Helena#1 &2, Mahaica. These places are a bit inland on the Western bank of the Mahaica River. This means that the river is expected to overtop its banks. Would the highly simplistic notion of building higher seawalls help or exacerbate the problem in areas like Helena #1 &2 ?

These places are not inland. They are on both sides of the road and borders the river.
