♣ Drains can have a layer of pebbles instead of concrete
♣ The storm water drains can be covered with pre-cast slabs with holes so that waste materials do not fall in and choke them
♣ Putting up rainwater harvesting structures in every neighbourhood and roads will avoid wastage of rain water.
♣ Rainwater should be harvested locally instead of collecting the water through pipelines and draining it into a common area
♣ Storm water drains should be cleaned and maintained regularly for most efficiency
