If these underground rivers are so prohibitive, why does every skyscraper downtown have multi-level underground parkades that aren't all swimming pools? Is the public really expecting that as soon as they start digging, the engineers will say "oops - we've hit water! Danielle was right!".
An active DS BS detector is required to parse everything she says. Any time she drops an excuse, it's usually wise to question it, because 95% of the time it's a bull#### line to hide her true intentions, which are mostly driven by how she feels about stuff, not fact, knowledge, or reason.
