The reasons behind the water logging are:<br />
Topography of the city ie. GL varies between 170 m to 150 m.<br />
Silting of the drain<br />
Dumping of debris and garbage into the open drains and nallah<br />
Unlined drains<br />
Buildings over the drain<br />
Inadequate drainage system<br />
Increased runoff due to increase in impervious area.<br />
Drains and nallahs carrying sullage<br />
Roads below the drains top level<br />
The city is facing big problem of Storm Water Drainage due to:<br />
• Old drains which are heavily silted, broken at places and encroached by<br />
buildings<br />
• Most of the drains are inadequate in size and there is urgent need for planned<br />
desilting & remodeling of drains.<br />
• Drains becoming non-functional due to garbage dumping by residence.<br />
