A city’s answer to natural catastrophes
The city of Buenos Aires has suffered severe floods in at least 12 occasions between 1985 and 2001, all of them with heavy losses, including human lives. Thus, the city has developed its own Hydraulic Master Plan, including the second relief outfall for the 17 km2 basin of the Vega Stream.
