Frankly I wouldn't trust any flood prevention consultancy, they only exist to convince people to build houses where they shouldn't.
And as for flood prevention works? Most of them fail, spectacularly, sometime down the road - usually after the consultancy company have overturned common sense and got houses built in the now flooded area.
You do not, ever, win the battle with water.
