Flooding, that water covered the streets after rain. It's really high-level words for me also I think that amazing words you can use to talk about some situations in real life,I mean close to my simple life. Such as when I'm in the desert with my friends in the Winter we must sit on fire to make us feel warm, so the logs are useful for us.
