The rainstorm struck, and new york entered a state of emergency. How is the local drainage system?

How small human beings are in front of nature, no matter how fast the economy develops and how high the level of science and technology is, they are so powerless in the face of major natural disasters. The so-called natural and man-made disasters, everything is impermanent, some disasters can be predicted in advance through science and technology, and can be prevented, while some disasters happen without warning, unable to prevent, or even too late to deal with.

The rainstorm that new york will suffer this time is inevitable, so we can only do a good job of urban drainage to avoid waterlogging. The development and construction of the city is of great benefit to the improvement of human life, work, study and living standards. However, a city is like a fortress, with dense buildings and concrete floors. It is convenient to pass at ordinary times. Once it rains, the rain is not easy to penetrate into the ground, and the dead leaves of garbage are easy to block the sewer. If the drainage system of the city is not well done and the rainwater cannot be discharged in time, waterlogging will easily occur.

It is reported that the rainstorm in new york is very heavy, and the economic losses caused are also unpredictable. Some big cities will have underground buildings such as underground subways or parking lots, which usually save ground space and facilitate residents' passage. At this time, it shows its disadvantages. A large amount of rainwater flows into the underground passage, the subway and other facilities are flooded and destroyed, and there is also a large amount of water on the ground.

Under the destruction of heavy rain, the transportation, electricity and infrastructure of the whole city have been greatly affected. The traffic is basically paralyzed, but in the face of the concerns of the masses, the relevant departments said that there is no need to worry, and the drainage system in the city is completely normal and enough to bear. But this is far from the truth.

It is reported that the water depth in some places has reached the waist of residents, and large-scale water accumulation and continuous heavy rain have seriously affected the lives of residents. However, the relevant departments still show excessive confidence in their own infrastructure.

The rainstorm was a great blow to new york. In the face of nature, it seems that no matter how good the technology and advanced development are, they will not play much role. I sympathize with the residents of new york.
