I guess the question is how long have the factories been there? Are these floods likely to be annular in frequency? Or more like a once in 100 year frequency? Or somewhere in between?
New housing in the UK is turning like that. Lots of housing developments are built on natural flood areas. Precautions are of course put in to prevent routine flooding from happening, but I think they're supposed to be rated to once in 100 year flooding as an acceptable risk level.
