Re: Overreach is the problem
The thing with filling low spots that collect water, is the next time it rains, all the water will flow downhill, fast. When everybody does that, rainwater is not slowed and split into puddles in wetlands at various heights, to stay and slowly dry.
Instead, all of it rushes down to the lowest point, where it causes flash floods.
There are good reasons to keep that particular kind of temporary wetlands, often located where it rains rarely, but when it does, it pours. In those places, they literally save lives.
