About Storm Water Drains in Smart Chennai

Improving the existing storm water drain infrastructure in the city by providing new storm water drain and providing the missing links at required locations with proper disposals to drain the water at proper disposal point as a Long term measures for avoiding water stagnation at vulnerable points where stagnation up to 2 feet is observed and where old existing drains constructed decades ago are collapsed or defunct due to caving or damage by utility department or natural ageing or absence of the connected links.

MANAGING STORM WATER

Storm water drains are designed to carry clean rainwater into our waterways. These drains are not a dumping ground for waste liquids and materials. But pollutants get into our streams and coastal water because people allow waste, contaminated water and rubbish to get into them. Many normal everyday activities can pollute storm water, if any related waste or dirty water gets into the drains. Washing your car or paint brushes, washing down spilt chemicals or letting livestock wander through drains. You need to remember that storm water and wastewater systems are quite different:

Storm Water Goes

Directly Into Waterways.

Wastewater Is Treated

Before It Reaches Waterways.

MISSING LINKS:

In most of the storm water drains, some stretches of the storm water drains had got defunct due to caving or damage by utility department or natural ageing or absence of the connected links, which requires demolition and reconstruction of the particular stretch and where old existing drains constructed decades ago are collapsed or defunct.

Works Under Progress:

GCC Proposed To Construct The Missing Links Or Improvement Of Defunct Drains At 335 Locations.

Also To Provide Rain Water Harvesting At Every 30m Intervals For Recharging The Ground And Silt Catch Pit At Every 10m Interval.

BENEFITS:

Providing the missing links at required locations with proper disposals to drain the water at proper disposal point as a Long term measures for avoiding water stagnation
