Yes but..
We have to also think about how waters being removed from land. Is it being removed so quickly that we end up with low rivers and risk of saltwater intrusion during drought conditions [0]? Is water drainage not getting buffered by say, growing vegetation?
My argument isn't against French drains outright, but whether we're thinking more broadly about the impact of human relations with water.
