    $\begingroup$ You mention "calderas". Is that relevant? Is it somehow based around extinct volcanoes? Could you include that information. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Fair warning, we embrace questions looking for a finite list of things but your question is dancing a bit closer to the off-topic infinite list of things. What you should be expecting for answers are generalizations (e.g., you might want to look up arroyos and how they're used intentionally in the U.S. Southwest, such as the Los Angeles storm drain system). But you shouldn't be expecting specific details about everything you've asked about. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The reason for this is the one-and-only-one question rule (VTC:Needs More Focus). Questions asking for a finite list of things regularly ask just one question that happens to need multiple perspectives to answer. Off-topic infinite lists of things questions regularly violate the one-and-only-one question rule (which you do). Finally, (a) what research have you done in regards to storm mitigation in places like Asia where monsoons drop huge amounts of water? and (b) what does the geography of your world look like? People will usually take advantage of existing natural solutions. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @JBH: In asia there are classical storm drains, but more often that not, its just accepted as a fact of life that all things are destroyed by the monsun at some point. The destruction and reconstruction is seen as a sort of tax on the living, especially in river deltas. I have a hard time imagine that on a regular scale working with a industrialized society though. Thus the question. China has gigantic problems with flooding in new cities with thousands of deaths. $\endgroup$
