Champaign sits on a flat glacial till plain with minimal topographic relief, making the city highly susceptible to surface water ponding during heavy rainfall events when drainage systems are overwhelmed. The Boneyard Creek drainage corridor runs through the urban core and has a documented history of flash flooding in the campus area during severe summer thunderstorms. Champaign averages 38 inches of annual precipitation, with intense spring and summer convective storms the primary drivers of sump pump failures and basement flooding in the city's dense student-rental and older residential housing stock.
