There is no infrastructure to capture the rains. If it was percolating into the ground to replenish groundwater, there wouldn't be flooding. After this they will still experience drought and water shortage.

Wow.. I wonder how many king cobras are In those waters?

Dammit fix the damn sewage systems, does both for Pakistan and India. These pipes must be centuries old.

Imagine if all the rain water could be utilized. So much potential

These are the suburbs - which have haphazard construction. The island city has proper infrastructure and only low lying areas get flooded during high tide because water can't enter the sea.

Insufficient infrastructure is not the only major problem (its one of them), most of Mumbai is below sea level, during excess rains sea level rises causing backflow through the outlet pipes compounding the drainage problem.

No excuse for the current condition though, the newer Mumbai areas are built keeping such specifications in mind and are quite effective, much less in the older parts of town. A combination of politics and space scarcity has kept most of the older infrastructure in a dilapated state.

Exactly. This is utter mismanagement. For the sake of mankind, both China and India has got to solve this problem.

Karachi is also no different but wait we have poor economy but what happened to trillion dollar economy who failed to develop proper sewerage system for such mega city, real backbone of Indian economy.

 

[Wow]

flooded when it rains a little

Drought when it when it doesn't rain for a few days

I love this region

when you pave the whole city with concrete you eliminate the natural drainage mechanisms into planet earth
