They keep talking about ways to assist with flooding here, and dredging the rivers was suggested...But the idea shot down. Instead they are makng "green areas"...Places for the water to go where it won't hurt anything. Which means tearing down homes ands businesses that flood often.
That sucks, here we have a major water control, yeah we've been flooded in many areas that are still low and old. The city itself has never been flooded, long time ago they put a dam in, it's still there it holds the water for the most part, bellow yeah it's been flooded, they have also bored a hole under the city too, starts from the north and opens up by where the old shop was.
City Center will be gone as the waters rise anyway
It would, dredging is a good option I'f they still have one
Yeah as a stop gap measure. Problem is the polar caps are melting and rising seas mean backed up flooding rivers. Lower elevations are screwed in the long run. But, shit happens
Mother nature eh....
Keep people there paying taxes and filling jobs....if it's dredged that can happen. If it's not it gets more expensive to live there.
I know
And if you dredge you could use the soil it brings, build dams, use the soil for land fill, farming etc.....
Something can be done.
It can
I fell asleep on my couch, woke up and caught 4:20am. I expect this day to be wonked out.
