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.

And I totally think having more walkable area will really have a positive outcome. My mom walks whenever she can and I know if there was a way for her to safely walk to like the Liverpool close to her she'd walk all the time. Then there'd be no stopping her from shopping...

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

Paradoxically, plants help with droughts, especially trees. Their roots open the soil, so it can absorb water more easily, and store it.
This helps immensly with floods and droughts.
