| Jul 26, 2023 at 13:55 | comment | added | hszmv | As I mentioned in my answer, the flooding in a Super-cell storm isn't due to the rainfall, but the storm surge when the storm makes landfall (basically the storm causing ocean water to surge onto typically dry lands and travel in land.) As the storm dissipates the water does recede and while it causes damage to infrastructure, it's typically repaired and regions prone to this have methods to mitigate those repairs. These storms also rapidly weaken as they travel over land, since they are fueled by evaporating ocean water... which dry land lacks. | |

| Jul 26, 2023 at 6:15 | comment | added | datacube | In the title you talk about "tsunami like flash floods" but in the description reads more like "really heavy rain". So either water coming from the side or from above. So what of these two is the question about? Also since it is tagged as "near future": what technological advancements do you expect? Including that would help us tremendously since I think Chinas cities already try their best with the current technology. | |

| Jul 25, 2023 at 17:14 | comment | added | JBH | ... if you're expecting us to produce ideas that could cure China of losing thousands of lives due to flooding each year - you're expecting a lot from a site that focuses on helping people build the rules for imaginary worlds. Anyone who could do that would be running for the patent office with a billion-dollar idea... not posting it here. | |
| Jul 25, 2023 at 17:13 | comment | added | JBH | @Pica The results of your research belong in your post. Never assume that anyone will read comments for clarifications. And some of the societies you're talking about (China, India, Bangladesh, etc.) are industrialized. In a way your question doesn't make sense as all cultures (unless we're talking about colonization) must learn to live with flooding long before they have the technology to deal with flooding. The fact that we have examples of nations that developed tech despite the flooding proves it can be done. And an important point to remember: (*Continued*) | |
| Jul 25, 2023 at 17:08 | comment | added | JBH | @automaton (a) Perform the research expected by Stack Exchange by determining how cities throughout the world deal with seasonal high rains. (b) Reduce the post to a single question that doesn't violate the help center's book rule. Both of those recommendations could be derived from my comments. Users are expected to carefully read the tour and the help center to understand the limits of the site. | |

| Jul 25, 2023 at 13:58 | comment | added | Pica | @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. | |

| Jul 25, 2023 at 13:11 | comment | added | JBH | 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. | |
| Jul 25, 2023 at 13:06 | comment | added | JBH | 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. | |
| Jul 25, 2023 at 13:05 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | You mention "calderas". Is that relevant? Is it somehow based around extinct volcanoes? Could you include that information. | |
