   Hmmm... there's a bit to be said there regarding "Feng Shui" (wi   
   ipedia.org/wiki/Feng_shui) (AKA "Chinese geomancy") that explains topography   
   as a matter of *energy flow,* and whether someone ways "that's a load of   
   hooey" or "that's really helped!" the    
   fact remains, that water always follows the path of least resistance, and   
   always rests at the lowest point.   
      
   My mom and dad lived on a [soggy lot] (prone to standing water at times of   
   heavy rains) back when I was born, and when a mouse fell out of a cereal box   
   my mother had just taken out of the cabinet, that was *it*.  They moved to   
   where I've lived ever since    
   (except for my "prodigal years") and it sits on a lot that is *2nd* highest on   
   this side of the street.   
      
   So water flows from the middle of the the neighborhood (*nearly* like an oval,   
   like a race horse track, *right close to* 1 mile in circumference) just like   
   from the top of a turtle shell.  The water from the middle of the 'hood flows   
   into the street, and    
   the gutters carry that down-slope.   
      
   The water from the neighbor's lot (to the south of this lot) flows across our   
   yard, sure, yet out lot continues flowing down-slope to the north as well as   
   eastward (street-side) and down-slope of the back yard (out to the school's   
   field.)  That is to say,   
    the flow of water (Feng Shui, as well) results in the condition of "my cup   
   runneth over" (yet no "flooding" / standing water.  The garage is a newer,   
   separate issue.)   
      
   OK, here's the suggestion:  plant two willow trees (one at each corner of the   
   back porch) and those two "nature's sponges" will *sop up* **any** water that   
   accumulates near the porch.
