Tesco's annual revenue (for example) is 52 billion pounds.

The gross income was closer to 63Bn...But I very much doubt that Tescos would be interested in sponsoring any flood initiative as their net profit was for last year 1.32Bn (as found on google). This sort of expenditure would have to come from a governemnt initiative.

This parallel quantum processing computer or whatever  will be able to predict the amount of rain to fall in a  limited area within a few hours of detection.

So what is the purpose of being able to know how much rain is about to fall in a 100sq m of ground over the next hour? The solution, as I see it, is to look at seasonal changes and plan for a renewal of flood plains and new resevoire lakes. The Netherlands seems to have interesting methods of reducing flooding.
