Build an app to map 311 reports of flooding and drainage issues (depth, timing, location) to help city planning folks and engineers identify improvement projects. Helps identify and implement the fix the “worst first” policy in the Rebuild Houston Program.

We could try to use the water level sensors around Houston to see how fast bayous are filling or draining. Data is available at http://www.harriscountyfws.org/

Our team is scraping current sensor values and making it available via API, feel free to use it, we're gonna add more sensors during the day. http://test.castaby.com:8080/htxHackers
