Rain management in chennai

.
.
.
We love the rains and we dread it too. The government has done a commendable job with storm water drains. Yet there is stagnation of water leading to mosquito infestation. Chennai receives around 1,280 mm of rainfall, for a city its medium.
Yet a small shower can lead to water stagnation and inconvenience to citizens.acording to Tara Murali, an architect 'to arrest flooding, we need to define boundaries and declare the level of SWDs, their gradient and where the water should eventually flow'. There is alot of ambiguity on the origin and tail end of SWDs in the city.
We the citizens should more involved in knowing all this and work with the government for solutions, instead of complaining and cribbing.
