surface water disposal system

sistema idraulico means the main drains, deflusso is outflow.
It means we're covering the country in concrete so the rain can't soak away into the ground; it has to go into the sewers and they can't cope with the extra volume.

effluents disposal system

deflusso seems to be outflow of waste water or liquid, effluents are waste water or any liquid. In the internet *urban effluents* abounds. The term *effluents disposal system* applies to major industrial complexes, so I guess it may apply to urban systems as well.

the reasons of *deterioramento* are hard to guess (the evident first one is, as it noted Russell, overloading). May be the source text says something, please share, if possible.
Note from asker:
No more context sorry, this is all I have to work with.
