the cities develop and expanded, the open lands are converted to concreted
surfaces, now, the natural water courses and waterways suffered, which
is greatly reduced and the volume of run-off greatly increased. Among the
reasons of urban flooding in such water courses or open sewers stated are
channel. This solid wastes blocks the drainage channels and the sewer pipes
can no longer take the large flow. With the high intensity rains that leads to
large runoff, the water level in these drains rise releasing obstructed
bin collection. But the system is incomplete or not accessible to many slums
depending on the layout and location of common bins thats why they come
up again with storm water drains under low lying areas: A digital elevation
model (DEM) was created for Bangalore city using ASTER image of 30m
resolution to analyse water catchment areas and drainage basins within the
boundary of the city. They found out that the commonalities of flooding
observed is caused by: low lying areas and poor drainage makes the location
quite prone to flooding; a large load of solid waste disposed into the drain
aggravates the situation by choking the water course; and the presence of
other pipes across the flow path provides barriers on which solid waste
population together with the poor capacity of municipal and private waste
study about 60% of the household waste is organic, and includes plastic and
rubbers that blocks the major storm drains and gutter which is 11% of the
disposing waste while other prefer burying and burning. But the inadequate
problem .Aside from these, the poor public attitude towards waste
recycling of waste materials into compost, bio energy and other forms of raw
materials to reduce environmental pollution. And also if the government
policies and allocating enough funds for the work to be efficient to achieve a
good result.
