Default Drainage problems.

Good morning everyone,

My honey and I are in the process of looking at houses.
In the learning process of looking one at potential homes, one of the
issues that came up with buying a home is drainage.
We went to see a particular house and it was in good shape , but
noticed that there was a large pond, created by the recent rain.
I have a couple of questions here about that.
1. Where or to whom would a home owner go to about property drainage?
2. How expensive is it to generally rectify such issues?
3. If I get rid of drainage on my property where does the water go?
and if it goes to my neighbors can I be sued ?
I tried looking on line but got a bit confused by the searches I
found.

Thank you for your help.
