Northeast China just had it's worse flooding in decades, luckily deaths are on the low side and the rain is more or less over now. But a reminder to quickly lower carbon emissions asap and to built flood resistant infrastructure. On the plus side, the drought and heatwave over much of China is gone for now.

I wonder how much it would cost to built vast flood reservoirs or underground reservoirs to channel and store all this rainwater, or "pipelines" that allow for water to seep into the ground or aquifers much quicker than usual. Water is a precious resources with all this droughts springing up and this massive bursts of rainfall can provide years of water to a large city and restore a vast amount of groundwater over a period of days.
