By changing his property so that more water flows onto your property your neighbor has damaged your property and is responsible, and Greg seems to acknowledge that. Those who suggest that he has no responsibility are just plain wrong.
Given that the extent of the "problem" prior to Greg's improvements is unknown, a 90/10 split seems reasonable.
Even the article that you quoted said that it is still up in the air as to liability...
I gave a real example of my dad's land... the flow of water was changed due to two feet of fill... but lawyers said it was not his problem... end of story....
Also as I said, a local lawyer could answer the question right away so there would be no question....
