Dear All, Solution to water logging need to be worked out case to case. few may be the causes of water logging. 1. Roads do not have desired camber. 2. Quality of surfacing is poor leeading to purculation of water to the sole of the road. 3.Soling is poor leading to dipression in the road. 4. vehicles heavier than designed load are allowed to use the roads. 5. drain size & gradiants are not proper. 6.Road cleaning is done manually & sweepers dump the collected clutter into drains. 7. drain cleaning is not done properly. It is being done by incompetent agencies. In my views we need to critically study the specific areas & apply needed one time needed solution. We need to proceed as follow. 1. select the are where improvement is required. 2. mark the spots having water logging. 3. work out the root cause for each area. 4. prepare estimate. 5. arrange funds. 6. Choose the right agency with proven competency to carry out the improvement job. 7. Involve local persons to supervise the job & report. 8. Prepare norms for maintenanace. 9. train contractores/ agencies to carry out maintenanace jobs as per laid norms. 10. arrange specific equipments/ tools to carry out maint. jobs. 11. review the procedure & update maint standards to have a consitant standard. 12. Consult experts.

1.Drainage System should be a priority issue in the periodic meetings of Local Self Government bodies. 2. Permission of any construction, private and public, should necessarily support the existing drainage plan. 3. There should be the provision of penalty if any construction of person obstructs the drainage system. 4. If, people are throwing waste material in the drainage channel, it means there is lack of places to throw garbage. It requires proper garbage plan of the town. 5. Drainage plan and garbage plan of the locality should be displayed in related colonies and public places like markets, bus stops and parking places. more  
Each and every individual is responsible for this problem there is no matter of criticizing the municipality all the times. we are not suppose to put plastic bags in to the drainage we have to do periodic checking of our drainage in front of our house more  
The dream of Swacch Bharat can not be realised as long as people consider cleaning/garbage management the responsibility of govt./civic bodies. The mentality has to be changed. This can only be done by penalising errants. This needs to be done until cleanliness becomes a habit. A prime example is Singapore. more
