Question

In the houses shown in both figures, the central courtyard will receive a lot of water during rains. Will this not flood the house?

Answer 1

No, the central courtyard would not flood the house because it has a proper drainage system. The courtyard is slightly sloped so that rainwater can flow towards a drain or a well in the centre. The collected water can then be carried outside the house or stored in an underground tank for later use. Thus, this well-planned design helps manage rainwater effectively and prevents flooding.
