Backyard Flood

Whenever we have a heavy rainfall my backyard floods. If we'vehad a lot of rain and the ground is saturated, the water can sitfor days. I wouldn't mind if I didn't have indoor/outdoor dogs.I'd like to somehow drain the backyard. Would it be easy to installsome sort of drainage system using PVC pipe -- something one50-year-old woman could do herself? Or should I find someone todo it for me? And who would I call -- a plumber? Would this requirea city permit?

I thought about cranberries.

Well, theoretically you won't be able to see the water if the grass is high!
