Flood Handling: The priority in India now
In the season of monsoons, our country is subjected to a severe flood situation this year.
Few states of our country have a geographical location where flood does not swallow the cities and villages.
Other states of east-west-north-south in our country have been adversely affected due to flood.
Flood handling team are trained the year round.
NDRF and other teams are already in a venture to get them out of water submerged Landscape. more

Drainage system in every city should be such that it flows from higher to lower level towards the river and from there after water treatment towards the sea and then the ocean.

Moreover the performance of the city municipality in drain unclogging maintenance is horrible in India. Waste management also poses a big issue during rainy season. more

Where floods occur, they should have left large pieces of land vacant so that the flood waters could be channeled there but due to greed and laziness this has not been done and as a result the poor are suffering like anything year after year. more

'Govt' to do something about it! It must be 'Govts'. They partially failed in this respect since after independence. They worked less on obviating floods & more on neglecting them while creating individual funds out of on going projects then. The dredging (fake) of rivers in a state, in 1970s, during realm of 2 CMs, coincidentally real brothers, was a burning example. more
