Intersection of West Berry Street and Nelson Street during the Flood of 1985. Looking northeast from corner home on west side of Nelson Street.
The two Oaks are evenenly spaced across the property line and over the years I've been pruning them so they from a big arch.
I need to get my ladders out and the chainsaw and do some trimming but I don't think this is the day for being on a ladder...
The ground down to the lae it terraced for flood control with 4 dipd and swells to let the water flow slowly and not wash the yard out plus the first one is about twice the size of the others with a drain that takes it down to the back yard.
Plan ahead we get some serious rains even without hurricanes so the other side of the house has the same features but two drains since it collects the driveway water from the front. The water past that as the drive slopes to the back has a gentle valley down the middle for the water to follow, cleaning the sand from the drive, then into the dog pen leaving the sand and washing the top half of the pen free into even yet another holding pond where the dog doo settles instead of going into the lale.
The grass grows really well there and I've never had an alae bloom.

In the past, administration of previous Barangay Chairmen of different barangays in the Municipality of Ibaan have been constructing and installing open canals and open drainage system in an effort to beautify their area of responsibility. This may have afforded number of benefits to the residents, but there still a long prevailing problem that needs to be addressed.
In a meeting with Barangay Chairmen, Mayor Danny Toreja called for one centralized drainage system that will connect and identify the water floods flow and direction during rainy season. He considers this to be an issue that needs to be addressed since some of the barangays, particularly those situated along high ways often times get flooded, causing risks and danger not only to residents but also to motorists.
In the same meeting, Mayor Toreja also asked the Barangay Chairmen to make an inventory of their barangay roads for possible government funding in the future. He also asked them to submit to Sangguniang Bayan and Engineering Office for assessment any planned road openings in their area.
According to him, barangay road problems often stem from the barangay administration’s failure to secure Deed of Donation from the land owner where the roads are constructed. He explained that without the said Deed of Donation, the family members of the land owner will always have the right to claim any donations made to the barangay. If this prevails, no matter how much the residents clamor for any infrastructures, funding from the government will not be made. Worst, in case government funds were used on private property, this might result to a malversation of public fund or falsification of public document case filed against the concerned elective municipal or barangay official.
In line with this, both Mayor Toreja and Engr. Samson convinced Barangay Chairmen to draft their Development Plan to provide directions as to where their leadership will be and for easier identification of priority projects.

The windmills of Kinderdijk are employed as flood control in Netherlands. Much of the country is below sea level so they have to actively pump the water out of the lowlands - solution - windmill driven pumps.
