Newton sits along the Charles River and its tributaries including Cheesecake Brook and Fuller Brook, which overflow during heavy rain and snowmelt events. The city's varied topography creates runoff concentration points in valleys such as Newton Lower Falls and Nonantum. Clay soils in the eastern portions reduce permeability, causing frequent sump pump failures and basement flooding during extended wet periods.
