I wonder if the problem of aquifers not getting filled up can be planned for in future cities. Covering huge swaths of land in concrete is great for vehicles but really not great for flood prevention: if water can’t go into the ground, guess where it’s going? Your basement!
- colechristensen 4y agoPlaces where it rains have vast storm sewers and you only get flooded if you build in the wrong place. Streets, parking lots, basements are all drained.
