re: Judge orders Iberville to stop deployment of AquaDams along Manchac Road

im not dont do drainage design but in school i learned that most design standards state any civil work done on a site has to have the same amount of runoff as it did prior to any development. Hence big catch basins on the corner of parking lots, big culverts under streets in neighborhoods, and (the new trends) big lakes in neighborhoods.

While i can totally see EBR not denying permits because this isnt being done, as they have done with traffic (you are supposed to require any new development, build add to the infrastructure to support that development), But at the new EBR neighborhoods being build and blamed for this a little bit of an over exaggeration?
