The master plan for improvement of storm water drains in the city states: âThe drains and nalas, more specifically major drains, are deficient in sections by 50, 100 per cent to carry the designed discharge. This deficiency of a majority of the drains is due to constriction caused by encroachments. Initial rough survey shows that about 28,000 structures and 900 acre of land acquisition need to be removed and acquired to attain the required design section for safe passage of storm water.â The city is divided into 16 zones for storm water based on the topography. Of the 160 tanks in GHMC area, nine are completely encroached upon and surplus weirs of 13 tanks are encroached. The total length of major drains is 390 km while the road network in GHMC is more than 9,000 km. Most of these drains are either in the catchment of tanks or as surplus of tanks. Many nalas have narrowed down due to encroachments and cause inundation during rainy seasons. The number of water bodies, once 530, is down to 169 at present. âIn addition to weeds, direct discharge of raw sewerage and discharge from septic tanks into these drainage channels aggravated the problem. The problem is further complicated with utilities crossing the drains and being suspended inside the drainage channels; sudden contraction in sections of drains and culverts not properly designed,â said a source. Highlights of the study on urban flooding in Hyderabad Rainfall exceeding 50 mm in 24 hours is enough to clog the drains and inundate roads. Most natural drainage channels (nalas) and road-side drains are clogged with garbage. To cite just one example, the Palle Cheruvu nala to Banglaguda has been reduced from 45 feet to two feet by encroachments. |
