yaybikes (Sep 26, 2008 at 16:40)

wow are you guys retarded???
the drains empty into the sewer. there was just a bunch of leaves on top of the drains. all it took to get the water out was to take a shovel and push away the leaves.

+ 13

dancallahan (Sep 26, 2008 at 18:47)

honestly, do you think the person who made/designed the park forgot to put in drainage...

- 3

fr112358 (Sep 26, 2008 at 21:16)

uh...YES. If there WAS the water would not be still like that. and all the trees are far away in the background, AND leaves aren't water tight on both sides.

+ 4

jonslater (Sep 27, 2008 at 6:53)

pretty sure they go there and they're the ones that unclogged the drains.. so you're wrong.

+ 32

yaybikes (Sep 27, 2008 at 7:01)

yeah there was a huge storm the day before, and where it is, there is a feild right beside it.... this feild floods and then the water pours into the bowl.
this feild also makes it windy throwing leaves into the bowl.
this was in the end of winter so the park wasn't used in a long while. so that's how the leaves acumulated. once the leaves get wet they tend to stick to the ground. all the rain creates little streams towards the drains leaves follow and stick to the drain. get enough of them and it's enough to clog them.

this happened to one the the bowls at our local park once. the Japanese that designed the park decided not to put full drainage in just a few meter deep pole, when it flooded they said that they didn't think we would need drainage in South Australia because its dry down here...
