It also describes and analyses the possibility of implementing underground vaults and piping systems to avoid future floods and improve its resilience. To achieve this purpose, this project is organized as follows. First, the city of Paraná is going to be briefly described. Next, the problem on Almafuerte avenue is going to presented. Following the analysis, some scenes are going to be described to visualize the problem. After that, the causes and consequences of the problem are going to be identified and analysed.
