Flood Plains

Thank author of this post/commentI have been researching, without success, where the flood plains are in Uruguay since I have understood floods are the biggest natural disaster in this country. Does anyone have any resources they can post on the subject?

Thank author of this post/commentPersistence paid off and I discovered a 50 year flood was in these areas: Departments of Durazno, Soriano and Treinta y Tres, Tacuarembo, Florida and Cerro Largo y Rocha.

Thank author of this post/commentI remember that now... I don't think flooding is an issue in the Montevideo area.

Now that you've mention it usually you don't see these types of information over the internet and I wonder why is it so? You usually only see these "plans" if there are indeed such plans when disaster strikes. If only the government and various concerned agencies are thinking in a longer and more less destructive flood plans then I think the issues of flooding will no longer haunt them. Why don't they start a construction of flood gates or flood rerouting structures?

Uruguay is a flattish sort of country and the tormentas (storms) we get here can put tropical monsoons to shame.

Most low lying areas can suffer flooding and if you live in the campo, it pays to check whether your access roads are all-weather. Ruta 54 at the bottom of my hill can and does disappear under water after heavy rains.

Luckily for me, it rained cats and dogs when I was property hunting so I bought land with a house on top of a hill with access to a non- flooding road (Ruta 52) to Colonia Valdense.

Some of my local towns have been busy improving their storm water drainage systems since that very wet summer but with the very heavy rains we get sometimes, its not possible to guarantee no flooding unless you live atop a hill.

Thank author of this post/commentA good reason you want to spend a lot of time in an area before buying. I haven't seen issues of flooding in Montevideo... but there are lots of neighborhoods...

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 2251251498
