Flash floods have become increasingly common in New York City, with the city’s aging infrastructure and changing climate contributing to the problem. According to a report by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the city’s sewer system is designed to handle a certain amount of rainfall, but heavy downpours can overwhelm the system, leading to flooding. The report notes that the city’s sewer system is “not designed to handle the intense rainfall events that are becoming more frequent due to climate change” (Source: New York City Department of Environmental Protection).
