flooding is natural this city needs to build on stilts
Yes, thank you. Flooding is natural but exacerbated by impervious surfaces, including buildings, paved surfaces, rooftops, etc. Urban flooding or risk of flood damage can be reduced by increasing green spaces, more trees and parks, more permeable surfaces, including sidewalks, parking lots, driveways; changing polluting lawns to rain gardens, disconnecting drain pipes from the stormwater system, and more.
