Another flooded street in LA [1932]. The more I look at these old LA flood pics the more I imagine all the thought, time, and energy to make our city habitable. It took a ton of work involving much trial and error. Today we have a system designed specifically for the contour of LAs up-and -down topography. The flood control district soon eventually installed catch bins on the streets to capture accumulated runoff and remove it from the road and into miles of long reinforced concrete boxes/tunnels designed to move water off the streets as quickly as possible. _____________________#BelowLA__________________________________ ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎTIᑎG ᗩ ᑭEᖇᔕᑭEᑕTIᐯE Oᖴ ᒪOᔕ ᗩᑎGEᒪEᔕ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᔕEEᑎ ᗷEᖴOᖇE! __________________________________________________________________ #mtb #ladpw #ladwp #lafcd #urbanphotography #losangeles #floods #losangeleshistory #flooding #floodcontrol #california #naturaldisaster #stormdrain #civilengineer #cityofangels #elysianvalley #oldphoto #lacounty #larain #losangelesriver #lariver #urbanexploration #destruction #hollywood #mountainbiking #fixie #history #bmx #angeleno https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J_4n1gTIR/?igshid=bvmnbgxi9ccc
