The risk of flooding

The land beside my house is water filled ever since the second night of non stop rain. The problem is it cannot flow to the drains around the house as the drains are already full. Even the bigger drains by the side of the road is up to the brim with water. As such, the water has been stagnant. The only hope is evaporation which will take a long time. That will happen if there is no more rain and the sun shines brightly. The other is it goes to the ground, again a slow process. So for now, the water is more or less stagnant. It's been a four or five days now. Don't know when it will dry up! For the moment it is touch and go. Another night of non stop rain may result in flooding.
