Line 2 of the Guadalajara Urban Electric Train System is the second line built to optimise public transport by urban rail. It was constructed between January 1992 and June 1994. Its building cost was much higher than that of Line 1 because there was no existing infrastructure as was the case during Line 1's construction, and also because it involved the modification of drainage collectors in order to build new underground infrastructure.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Urban flooding</span> Type of flood event in cities

Urban flooding is the inundation of land or property in cities or other built environment, caused by rainfall or coastal storm surges overwhelming the capacity of drainage systems, such as storm sewers. Urban flooding can occur regardless of whether or not affected communities are located within designated floodplains or near any body of water. It is triggered for example by an overflow of rivers and lakes, flash flooding or snowmelt. During the flood, stormwater or water released from damaged water mains may accumulate on property and in public rights-of-way. It can seep through building walls and floors, or backup into buildings through sewer pipes, cellars, toilets and sinks.
