Consider using French drains (submerged piping in gravel that allows surface water to soak into the ground and flow up into the pipe) to carry the water to an appropriate pump/drain system.
-Don't apply anything 24-48 hours before forecasted rain. -Use grasses and groundcover native to the area that don't need fertilizer.
