THE EDITOR: In south Florida there are few basements. That is mainly because of the very high water table. In some area water is merely three feet below the surface. South Florida is also affected by its close proximity to the sea. Consequently, during heavy rains and storms it is prone to flooding. To alleviate flooding in most communities, manmade lakes have been constructed to absorb the excess water. Artificial water catchment basins work. The one constructed on South Quay worked until it was allowed to fill up with silt and debris.
