Gurgaon: Car images at Bonnet-Deep Water on Golf Course Road flooded the internet during the rainy season.
Rainwater has emanated to one of the seven underpasses and boulevard downtown – totem of its achievements and ambitions – announced by the chornic drainage problem.
This year, the road golf course is a silver layer in a flood that follows rainfall Monday in most parts of the city.
The Underpass road was not affected by the first heavy rainfall of Monsoon, the initial indication that was moving by GMDA and IIAmgurgaon, an NGO, to build four drainage channels to divert water flowing from Aravalis to succeed.
However, experts say they will wait to see if the plan will stand out to heavy rain.
The four drainage channels have been built in sectors 26, 42, 54 and 56.
Water from this water channel flows into the natural river, which has widened and makes it deeper to hold more water.
Because these children are at higher heights, they absorb a lot of rainy water on Monday and stop it from flowing into the golf path.
It also reduces pressure on the badshahpur channel.
“This step has reduced Stormwater runoff nearly 50%.
In Gurgaon, flooding never happened only because of runoff from Aravalis.
We must identify obstacles in natural rivers, making them wider and deeper so they can accommodate more water.
It takes pressure from the Badshahpur channel, which is flooded during the rainy season and is the nearest area of ​​the area, “said Subhas Yadav, Nodal Officer (environment and sustainability wing) at GMDA.
Some original species, such as Pilkhan, Goolar, Neem, Baheda and Arjun, have also been planted around these children so that the land is not loose and the embankment does not provide.
The brain behind this step is a research team from the Teri School of Advanced Studies.
After last year’s flood, GMDA had assigned the Teri School study three months to find out the reasons and ways to stop flowing water from higher reaching the golf path.
“We conducted a survey between September and December last year and shared our findings and recommendations with GMDA.
They immediately acted on them and the results were there to see this monsoon.
However, our research was limited to golf paths,” said Fawzia Tarnum, assistant professor in the department Study of regional water in Teri schools.
Latika Thukral from IIAmgurgaon explains why the decision to make a more river child in this monsun work.
“The Gurgaon-Faridabad highway and the MG road are 200 meters above the golf course.
So, rainwater will always spur on a golf path.
Now the tributaries have been made wider and more deeply, they have a good capacity to carry stormwater.
Sand And the mud in the kids bed will also allow seepage, “he added.
However, environmental lovers say they will adopt the waiting and watching policy to see if the plan holds the ground during heavy rains.
“GMDA must get experts to review plans.
They must plant long grass along the river so that the ground does not become loose and water seeps into it.
We are not sure whether the plan will work if heavy rain.
Let’s see,” said Vaishali Rana Chandra, “said Vaishali Rana Chandra, An environmental lover.
Residents, meanwhile, sighed relieved to see the golf path that was not affected by rain Monday.
“This is a good initiative by GMDA.
Their plans have saved our area from the flood this time,” Rahul Chandola, residents DLF 1.
