Needs of people to face the flood in future

View all 20 comments Below 20 comments
The requirement is very much felt by the people. The prediction of rain (any weather condition ) is not accurately possible. The weather forecast/ prediction is based on many parameters. We won't get all the p arameters. More over the interpretation software is also not proper; I think. So the forecast may have some correction factors. But a flooding can be predicted as soon as the starts. First of all the drainage system should be analysed. Then the information of rain fall of each station in the neighborhood should reach the forecasting station immediately. Then the precautionary measures can be adopted before affecting a loss. more  
My suggestion is drainage system should be different from the channel where the rain water is send. Because the flow of rain water will be very high which the drainage pipes cannot bare it. Even if the rain water is send though drainage pipes when heir is heavy flow of water their is possibility for the drainage water getting mixed with the rain water, which will cause many problems more  
Heavy Rains, Floods, Cloud Burst are not happening for the first time in our country. When Mumbai received 900+ mm of rain in 1 day , it came out that the Drainage system was blocked due to negligence of local body & hence the damage. No one learnt any lesson from it and hence we are condemned to undergo same agony again & again. The centre (read citizens of India) is the worst sufferer as it has to provide large sum of funds for relief work for the negligence (people's money) of local body. This is happening despite of existence of Disaster Management Authority.Why MET deptt can't acquire tools for perfect prediction (S.Korea & US have such tools) ? Why local bodies are allowed to exist as dead bodies (we pay for them)? The solution - Drainage lines should be clear & wide enough to let the excess water flow (This is being done in Jaipur & Surat), remove the barriers. This will save lives, property and funds. more  
I hope the department using certain data indicate the way it travels they can not predict more than that point. But it fails depend on nature's movement with out any bodies control more  
In a vast country like India it is pretty common for some parts of the country to be hit by natural calamities like the one Tamil Nadu capital is facing with millions of people severely impacted. This could happen anywhere in the country and the cause may be flooding, heat wave, severe storm and so on. It is a pity that even sixty eight years after liberation of India from the shackles of colonialism the country does not have a proper crisis management team (CMT). The country should have had in place a CMT in every state and they should have been well set to instantly trigger into action instantly whenever the need arises. No doubt our defence forces are pretty well equipped to respond quickly emergency such as the one in Chennai. Is that enough? How about our bureaucratic system? Is it well-equipped to handle emergencies with adequate supplies of basic needs of the affected population? Is there an appropriate mechanism to release the required supplies so that desperate people are provided with their basic needs reasonably quickly. With what has been happening in Chennai one can aptly conclude that the local government response was pretty slow or practically absent as could be gauged from how affected people have reacted with a deep sense of frustration rather than anger. One does not however deny the fact that sometimes the size of calamity could be enormous and the calamity itself is totally unexpected. Still, whatever possible action to assist the needy should be taken without being asked for and with the least possible delay. The Central and State governments must have learnt by now the pattern of such calamities and made some advance preparations considering the pattern of such events. Hopefully, the new government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will establish a new direction to deal with natural calamities across the nation! more
