City Sanitation Plan for Nashik - SuSanA

PART III: Sanitation Mapping
City Sanitation Plan for Nashik
Only 4% of the NMC area is covered by storm water drainage network. The lack of
storm water drains and the blocking of natural drains and the dumping of garbage
into existing drains causes water logging in several areas of the city. Water logging,
especially during heavy, rains,
affects the areas near the
central bus stand, the railway
station, the Ram Kund area,
Canada Corner, and slums on
Nashik Road.
URBAN POOR
In case of the slum’s storm water drainage and water logging situation, 19 out of
65 slums have fully covered gutters, 11 have them totally underground, 13 have
open gutters and 21 slums have partly covered gutters. But the physical condition
reveals that only five slums have
reported kuccha gutters while 42 are
fully covered. The distribution of
various types of gutters is also
presented in figure 18. However,
these gutters flood frequently,
especially during the monsoons, and
a key reason for that is the
inadequate gradient of these gutters.
