When it pours, who reigns?

Newsnight has a piece tonight on floods. I thought I'd pre-empt a tad, based on a key comment in their blurb.

'...finding that it's difficult to pin down who out of the agencies and local authorities on the ground is really in charge. '

So the money pours (sorry) in, but no one in government or quango who gets paid (handsomely, to retirement and beyond) to spend it like water (bit of a theme here) can even be identified, much less held to account.

Sums up the way are 'governed' these days pretty well, I'd say.
