Dear Friends,
Every spell of rain brings localized water logging in towns, ofter described in local news papers as flood. We have found that the major cause is engineered structures like roads, drains and compound walls that block the free flow of storm water. Natural drainage paths are blocked, or restricted. This is often neglected by local authorities since there is no guidelines for storm water management. I feel that it is time for us to have proper storm water management guidelines, for quantity as well as quality.

well, i think it will come soon as their is an initiative of urban flooding after recent Delhi case and earlier Mumbai one.
one of the first step is to sensitize the issue to the extent of the alarm and then maintain the tempo through a series of steps like awarness campaign, education, roadshow, fund raising, training and voluntering and networking with govt bodies to come up with a plan of action, execution, counter check with the effect and see whether it gives us the desired results and corrective actions. make this as a continuous process thus let all get involved directly or indirectly.
