Status of
Storm water Drains
The open storm water channels or Nalas as they are referred to, carry all
excess storm water runoff from the city to the river.
The city also dumps some solid wastes into these uncared for wasted
spaces, which further compounds the problem.
About 80-90% of water
used by community
becomes wastewater,
which unless properly
collected, conveyed,
treated and properly
disposed off, may
eventually pollute our
precious water
resources and cause
environmental
degradation.
