Water, coast & flood
Water resources, wastewater, the coast and flood risk were four separate views here, and separating them was the mistake. A storm overflow means little until you see the river it discharges into and the bathing water downstream; a shoreline policy of no active intervention means little until you see the flood areas behind it. These are one system — catchment to coast — and every question worth asking crosses at least two of them.

Status. Each domain carries its own data, independent of the city assessments. Where a source is wired the map is live; otherwise the layers are specified and the ingest is still to build.
