Hello @patjewell
It is impressive the damage caused by the rains, but if we analyze well, and really the cause of such level of rain is global warming, definitely the only responsible is the same man.
Of course, we can not say that we are all guilty, we know that the main ones are governments and businessmen, and that unfortunately those who suffer the most the consequences are the less economically favored ones.
That plant you speak of, wow, is a great solution, according to what you raise, it can help so much, and I think it would be neither expensive nor very laborious to maintain.
This type of solutions that are viable are part of the things that should be known worldwide.
Thank you very much for participating in the contest. And welcome to Colombia-Original.
