Problem Area 2 (removed culvert)

Problem Area 3 (flooding area)

Problem Area 4 (existing canal)

Design Options

1 – Sump Pump2 – Underground Storm Sewer and

Earthen Canal3 – Replace Culvert Removed in 20064 – Fill and Grade Horse Road5 – Retrench Existing Canals

Disadvantages→Extensive maintenance

→Sediment causesadditional upkeep

→No space

→Slow water removal rate

Advantages→Most direct route

→Minimal earthwork

→Lower initial expense

Design Option #1 – Sump Pump

Moscú Avenue

Advantages→Less maintenance than sump pump

→Follows typical Bolivian design

Disadvantages→Longer route

→More earthwork

→Higher upfront costs

New Storm Sewer Begins

Design Option #2 – Underground Storm Sewer and Earthen Canal

Design Option #3 – Add Culvert Under University Entrance Road

Advantages→Decreases flooding

→Simple solution

→Low maintenance

Disadvantages→Redoing previous work

→Paved road – costly, more work
