The golf course absorbed a lot of rainfall in the soil, and I live downhill from it. Rainfall now goes into them stormwater system instead of into the soil.
Even though the new houses have drainage that is sufficient, it all runs into an existing pipeline that can’t handle it.
As bad as golf courses are for the environment, paving over it is 100x worse.
Well, yeah. Roads, houses and driveways don’t soak up rain. Probably whatever was there prior to the golf course did a better job at that. And the current key is “pipeline that can’t handle it”
