Creating comprehensive drainage scheme
- Building local drains
- Augmenting drainage systems
- Improving drainage systems
- Expanding existing drain networks
Description
Creating comprehensive drainage schemes involves designing and implementing integrated systems to effectively collect, channel, and dispose of excess surface and subsurface water. This strategy aims to prevent flooding, soil erosion, waterlogging, and infrastructure damage by ensuring proper water flow and management. Key actions include site assessment, planning drainage networks, installing appropriate structures, and maintaining systems to address local hydrological challenges, thereby safeguarding public health, agriculture, and urban development.
Context
The poor performance of surface and subsurface drainage systems is often caused by the mediocre technical quality of drainage networks, improper drainage design and, sometimes, insuffieint involvement of farmers. During and after the installation of such systems, problems can occur owing to the lack of materials, machinery breakdowns and lack of trained staff.
