Don't Look For Culprits Causing Urban Flooding, All of Us Are Responsible, in One Way, or the Other. By: Mashallah Ali-Ahyaie Today's international news were disappointing: Urban flooding in the USA, the United Kingdom and Brazil, and only God knows where else, not reported. There are for sure means and ways for alleviating the urban flooding and its causes, for which one can search throughout the Internet wealth of information; needless highlighting in this short article. There are many technology maladies which intensifies urban flooding ( el nino flooding is an exception and a separate issue,) a few of them are discussed earlier, on Linked-In, as follows, at the end of this write-up. But back to the captioned title, all of us are responsible for the damage caused to fellow citizens, in different means and ways. For example, those propagated paving courtyards, pavements, streets, etc. with impermeable concretes, stone slabs, impervious asphalts, etc., blocking the infiltration of the precious rain drops, on the spot into the soil. When these practices propagated, the consequences were ignorantly overlooked by their developers. On the other side of the game, where these practices were blindly and ignorantly imitated by others; such followers are also responsible to certain extents. A few Technology Maladies Spread out on the Planet Earth: Out of the Technology Malady, a few are noted here under; and one may enrich the links, however, the global warming so evident is not included therein: Desperate People in China Are Buying Cans of Air Imported From Canada https://www.linkedin.com/groups/855897/855897-6083653124852064259 It will be fair enough compensating for the ancestors' inevitable ignorance; moving to remedy. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/855897/855897-6065026047114567683 OPTING FOR RAINWATER HARVESTING MEASURES IS NOT ONLY REQUIRED FOR SAVING WATER IN DRY CLIMATES, BUT ALSO FOR SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENTS, IN BOTH THE DRY AND WET CLIMATES AND SAVING ON EXPENDITURES. IT IS THE EARTH DAY AGAIN TODAY, ON Wednesday, April 22. A PRACTICE TO BE APPLIED ON THE EARTH DAY AS A GRATITUDE AND THE COMPENSATION FOR TECHNOLOGY-CAUSED MALADIES; NAMELY MITIGATING THE HARSH EFFECT OF THE EXISTING IMPERVIOUS PAVEMENTS VIA DRY-WELL CONSTRUCTION, WHEREVER APPROPRIATE AND TECHNICALLY JUSTIFIED. COULD RICH PHILANTHROPISTS HELP IN CURING A WIDESPREAD TECHNOLOGY MALADY, SUCH AS THE APPLICATION OF IMPERVIOUS PAVEMENT MATERIALS ON THE URBAN AND PREMISES AREAS, WORLDWIDE? THE APPLICATION OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES IS NOT AN EXCEPTION, LIKE ANY OTHER PHENOMENON WHICH HAS A PRO AND CON CONSEQUENCES; BUT IT IS ONLY AFTER QUITE A LONG TIME THAT THE REAL ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES ARE REALLY REVEALED.
