Urban Drainage
Urban Drainage initiatives focus on improving systems that collect, carry and manage stormwater and surface runoff in cities. Proper drainage infrastructure helps reduce water accumulation and improve the resilience of urban areas.
Well-planned drainage systems are particularly important in areas that experience heavy rainfall, waterlogging or rapid urban development.
Key Objectives
- Improve urban stormwater drainage systems.
- Reduce waterlogging in vulnerable areas.
- Improve surface water flow and drainage capacity.
- Support resilient urban infrastructure.
- Reduce risks associated with excessive surface water.
- Improve planning and maintenance of drainage networks.
Areas of Support
Stormwater Drainage
Development and improvement of systems for managing rainwater and surface runoff.
Drainage Infrastructure
Improvement of drainage channels, networks and related urban infrastructure.
Waterlogging Reduction
Measures aimed at improving drainage and reducing prolonged water accumulation.
Urban Resilience
Better drainage planning can contribute to more resilient and sustainable urban infrastructure.
Expected Benefits
- Better stormwater management.
- Reduced urban waterlogging.
- Improved drainage capacity.
- More resilient urban infrastructure.
- Improved safety and living conditions in vulnerable areas.
Important Note
Specific infrastructure projects, funding arrangements, eligibility and implementation conditions depend on the applicable government programme and concerned urban local body.
