DRAINING WATER

One of the biggest problems cities face are floodings caused by the surface impermeability.

Buildings and streets are built changing the natural course of water and causing damage downstream.

In a city, this problem cannot be solved individually so once again, we would need common infrastructure to lead rainwater to a water body.

This is what we already do now (often very badly), but a free city resident should be very much aware.

Unlike cities nowadays though, where the entire drainage systems are managed by a single entity, the management of drainage systems could be a bit more local, splitting the governance to neighborhoods.

As a new home owner why would I choose to spend the extra money to handle the water runoff sustainably or appropriately for the community?

Thanks for your thoughts on all this. This stuff need to be discussed

If you don't, you may be violating the non aggression pact since you have changed the natural water flow and that causes damage to people downstream. I'm talking about a society that respects the NAP.
