Neil-There are numerous underground streams in the Old City. Next to me two huge new buildings are having to deal with them (as I have for years with basement apartments). They constantly shift. Moreover there is a certain amount of below surface soil to absorb water and when some of that is replaced by concrete cubes the water problems adjacent multiply. However, in my experience, this doesn't happen. Sump pumps are used to pump that water into the combined sewer system.

charlie- WMATA tunnels certainly have water problems in several spots. However Metro is a use I'd support citizen financial support of. Underground garages not so much.
