Preventive techniques for water logging between Sewri to Tilak nagar station

Abstract
In this project we have discussed about the problem arises on railway track due to submerging of water. This water gets choked up due to having no allowance of proper flow through pipeline available at the side of the railway track .As we done survey on the railway track we saw that there is no proper maintenance done for the drainage system at side of railway track due to which the water gets submerged on the railway causing problem. There are also some pictures showing in our project book about the drainage system conditions. This research focuses on the rainfall induced flooding that it is caused by high intensity storm, rainfall and runoff in the city area that is inundated due to lack of proper drainage system and inefficient management. It ascertains the water logging problem, its cause and its effects on the environment of the city from the perception of authorities of different organizations and people living in different wards of Kurla Corporation. A field survey has been conducted during 2008 in Kurla Corporation. This water logging becomes a burden for the inhabitants of Kurla and creating adverse social, physical, economic and environmental impacts. Disruption of traffic movement and normal life, damage of structures and infrastructure, destruction of vegetation and aquatic habitats and loss of income potentials are the encountered effects of water logging on city life. The storm water becomes polluted as it mixes with solid waste, clinical waste, silt, contaminants, domestic wastes and other human activities that increase the water born diseases.
