"......" The greater Houston area covers about 10,000 sq miles (26,000 sq km) – a footprint slightly bigger than New Jersey. It is crisscrossed by about 1,700 miles (2,736km) of channels, creeks and bayous that drain into the Gulf of Mexico, about 50 miles (80km) to the south-east from downtown.

The city’s system of bayous and reservoirs was built to drain heavy rains. But engineering initially designed nearly 100 years ago has struggled to keep up with the city’s growth and bigger storms.

Tough to cope with that set of circumstances.
