Pouring cement, rain and mud and more mud.

Short version of a long story. We have been waiting for a dry spell so the basement floors to our future walkout home, can be poured. It’s been a long time and it’s not looking good anytime soon. I took the humongous tarps off the ground inside the cement walls, since the frost seems to be past . (They would fill with water and randomly blow around despite weighing 150 lbs a piece.) Although I cant change Mother Natures plan for rain, I am getting especially annoyed at the way rain is backing up around the house. The walk in basement doesn’t drain down the hill because it hasn’t been dug out except one small area, that is plainly not working. My questions are, Should I be requesting that better drainage be made as soon as possible? What should I know about pouring cement on overly saturated gravel base? Is this something to be concerned about?
