Repeat the demonstration on a paved surface such as a driveway or sidewalk and document the differences. With no soil to absorb this water, what would happen in a heavy rainstorm? How would an engineer in charge of a city's flood control system prepare for the runoff generated on paved parking lots and roads in a heavy rainstorm?

Explanation:

Without soil to absorb the excess water, a heavy rainstorm will cause massive flooding. The water will accumulate over the pavement and keep rising until it finds soil or a runoff since water always levels itself out. To prevent situations such as this one an engineer should implement drainage tunnels between the road and the sidewalks. This would allow the water to be drained and flow to the nearby body of water. This would easily prevent flooding during a heavy rainstorm.
