Flash floods and mudslides are a problem that affect people almost everywhere, particularly those that live in hilly areas like Iowa. Due to these natural disaster risks, investing in good and sturdy stormwater systems should be a priority in areas prone to flooding, especially when planning to develop a community. A good stormwater system should be able to contain a large volume of water at any given time, seeing that the purpose of these water systems is to have a holding area for rain water, thus preventing floods. As these systems collect water during severe rains, operators have the option to gradually release water that has accumulated in these water systems. This may result in very minor flooding, but it helps in the long run since the controlled release prevents flash floods.
