I understand that a lot of new buildings have been constructed in downtown Montego Bay. But have the city planning authorities also put in place proper infrastructure to facilitate drainage during times of heavy rain? If I remember correctly from my geography class the soil in Montego Bay allows for water to pass through very quickly in times of heavy rain. If this soil is covered in concrete ( which is not natural ) and the water has no where to go, this may contribute to the massive flooding. So in summary, proper planning for new infrastructure is important to prevent flooding. Why am I posting this on Facebook? To educate all my younger family members who may one day become leaders. And since Facebook, Twitter, blogger and other social media (not school) is where everyone learns nowadays, what better place to discuss this?
