Flooding in SV

Any city will flood if it has unusual amounts of rain, especially now with the climate. Even Singapore floods, and London and many EU cities and towns.

SHV will always flood. Always had always will.

To add a little perspective to the lack of foresight in SV let's take a quick look at the Burj Khalifa.
And, specifically, the fact that it isn't connected to a municipal wastewater treatment system.

15 tonnes of sewage a day has to be trucked out.

That story is full of inaccuracies and unrelated news.
The poop truck backlog was because a large sewerage plant was forced to closed for a week.

Back when that article was written some of the city used poop trucks but never the Burj.

And

Still. Let’s knock SHV eh.

The police sent out the rescue team to search for the missing people. The rainstorm was heavy and it flooded the city very quickly making it harder for them to search for the missing people and the authorities have alerted the population to be extra cautious.
The weather report showed that up to 8:20 pm on August 24, the rainwater rose 249mm, flooding most parts of the province. There has been no further up-to-date report on the rescue yet.[This morning at 10am.]

Seems an bit of an odd statement (maybe something was lost in translation), but if there has been 249 mm of rain falling in 24 hours then there is no way they could preven a flooding. In that case you're only safe on the top of the hill.
