Frequently asked questions
Why does a small stream flood faster than a large river?
Because its catchment is paved and its channel is modest. Developed ground delivers runoff within minutes and in full, so a small system receives a peak far above what its size suggests. Large rivers rise over days; this kind responds inside an hour and drops just as quickly.
Does the tide matter to flooding away from the shoreline?
It matters to drainage. When a storm coincides with high water, outfalls near the Sound cannot discharge and everything upstream of them backs up. The same rainfall on a falling tide leaves without incident, which is why identical storms produce different outcomes.
Water is only on the uphill wall. Leak or drainage?
On sloping ground, almost always drainage. That wall retains saturated soil and carries pressure the downhill side never sees. A consistently wet uphill wall is a signature of where the water is coming from rather than of a defect in the wall.
