What is destroyed after a hurricane blows through?
What survives?
Water is necessary for human survival, but it can also be destructive. The topography of the site is on a slight slope, which would slow the flood. Places with higher topography are protected from flooding, but the lower part of the site would be damaged by the flood. For these reasons it is necessary to implement infrastructure to accommodate the effects of water on land. Drains collect water from heavy rainfall or snowfall and take it, along with any pollution it has picked up, to the Boston Harbor or the Charles River.
