From last few years FLOOD is just normal thing in monsoon in Pune...but is it just because of heavy rains.. certainly not.. but because of blocking the drainage pipe lines... Thanks to the scrap material including plastics directly going in to the pipelines and resulting in choke up..... So can we avoid these situation ??
of-course YES...
So what "advance" techniques these people are using here .....absolutely nothing.....its just simple method which makes huge change...
Lets see what this method is....

This is how it looks like.
Exactly the same DHAKKANS like we have.
In our case we just have this lid and below are the drainage lines so that all scrap can easily go into the pipelines...
here it is slightly different... here they have a Big Bucket with holes just below this lid. See attached image.

So basically all the scraps going into the drainage is getting filtered by this bucket and allowing only the sewage water along with things which wont choke up the lines to flow.. One more picture for better clarification...

After every one or two months cleaning guys will come open up the lid and empty the buckets. Thats it !!! Cleaning the bucket is very simple.. unfortunately missed to click photos of it..
It certainly doesn't need any extra cost.....
We may need to empty these buckets once in a week in rainy season...
So if we don't want to see the picture below we need to do this small change....

Nice initiative man...you really have brought up a very critical area of concern in today's society. A little improvement by each one of us can bring a great deal of change in our environment and will help sustain this planet for future generations.
