Techny Basin In Glenview Fills With Rainwater
After a heavy rain, the usually dry basin can hold 365 million gallons of water.
GLENVIEW, IL — After Monday’s storms, heavy rain filled the Techny Basin in Glenview. CBS 2’s Ed Curran reports from the Mobile Weather Lab reservoirs and basins in the area are holding large amounts of storm water, a reason why people may be seeing fewer flooded basements.
Techny Basin is mostly dry, but after a heavy rain, the west fork of Chicago River tends to overflow, creating an instant lake that can hold 365 million gallons of water.
