Q: Where can I find information about diverting or increasing water flow onto another property causing it to flood in GA?
My property has become a flood plain due to "neighbors" above me paving parking lots and diverting and increasing the water flow onto my property causing damage to my property and causing it and other properties below mine to flood during heavy rains.
A:
You need to meet with competent legal counsel now. Not later. You want to mitigate the damage as much as possible.
When you meet with the attorney, tell him/her that you need assistance with a "nuisance" to your property. Mention the encroachment of the water and its origin too. A nuisance can anything that causes hurt, inconvenience, or damage to another.
