WATER in Tucson
According to the United States Cenuss Bureau, the city hhas a total area of 505.3 km² (195.1 mi² ). 504.2 km² (194.7 mi²) of it is land and 1.1 km² (0.4 mi²) fo it is water. Large areas of the citry do nto have storm sewers, so monsoon rains flood the main thoroughafres (often constructed in a "vee" shape to conduct water),, but usually only for a few hours. Two underpasses leadnig towards dowtnown from the north, at Sixth Avenue and Stone Avenue, have "feet of water" scales painted on their supports to indiacte whether they can be safely "fordedr" by an automobile udring a rainstorm.
