The city was built in a low-lying area subject to flooding.

The region receives an annual average of 2000 mm of precipitation, which often causes flooding in the low-lying area.

The low-lying area had never been developed because of drainage and sewerage problems.

The new structure proposed to be constructed in the low-lying area abutting the highway will have nearly 20 additional platforms.

The residents started adding fill along the neck in the late 18th century because the low-lying area was prone to erosion.
