Given the current predicament in Berkshire/Surrey, might it not be prudent to open the Thames Barrier and allow the locks and wiers up as far as Reading Reading to free flow?

Just wondering like

Because it wont make any difference?

The idea is it opens just as the sea side level drops below the river side when the tide has turned, around when the tide reaches its low point, its closed, this creates an effective 'empty reservoir' inland of the barrier for the river water to 'fill'. If it remains open then the tide fills it.

Simples.....and a very clever and impressive piece of civil engineering
