It's a depression...a tropical one, that is
May 28, 2009

Heavy rains across parts of Iowa and Nebraska this past week have been due to the remnants of a tropical depression that worked its way up from the Gulf of Mexico. Parts of the region west of Des Moines are actually in need of precipitation (according to the drought monitor), though not all of it in one big storm. As places like the Omaha, Des Moines, and Cedar Rapids metro areas become more urbanized, the role of stormwater management becomes increasingly important to the protection of both life and property. Permanent structures, like stormwater sewers, levees, and pump stations, as well as temporary interventions like portable dams and portable pumping systems all contribute to the effort.
