   Same where I live with same amount of rain and living on a hillside.  We   
   have a creek below the development that sometimes goes over the banks   
   and people nearby sometimes get flooded basements.   
      
   Three of my neighbors down below made the mistake of taking a stream   
   that runs into the creek and making ponds on their front lawns.  With a   
   heavy rain silt gets washed down hill, hits the pond, slows down and   
   settles out filing in all the ponds.
