in a way, that when the water level exceeds some point, the sewage water will be sent
directly to the outflow or in some cases to some biopools.
There are a lot of straight drainage systems, ditches and dykes near the forests and
farmlands which used to be excessively damp. This contributes a lot to the flooding in the

The flood plain grasslands located along the riverbanks are the typical example of plant
