I got you a picture here of the infrastructure in Los Angeles built to control the flooding in an area most would call a desert. 18-20 million people living on a spot God intended to grow cactus and avocados.

It was never paradise but they paved it and put up a parking lot anyway.

This is all due to the development of the urban area and the fact that most of the rain that falls in LA happens in one or two days out of the entire year.

Urban sprawl is the same world wide.

Then you add the fact that most urban areas are where they are because the location has good access to water transport. Who would have thought that if you live beside a river you might have an occasional flood!
