Fortunately heavy rains finally filled the reservoirs somewhat, ending the drought for about half a year.

This is actually why they plan on planting the streets, as they want to stop the pollution present in the city, and have more walkable areas to reduce the use of cars.

Adding trees and their detritus that falls helps the ground absorb and hold moisture for longer periods.
