We the non Chennaiites experienced the same kinda inundations during the past times.But why the hell those "disasters" were "never disasters" at all. Why there was no media attention and near zero miseries at all in the south Tamil Nadu.
Soil-Even the 2015 floods made it clear just like storm drains, exposure of soil to the rain is mandatory for normal life during monsoon periods. As one can easily observe certain areas like Anna Nagar never felt much of the "heat" from the floods though debilitated of the normal life. Along with parks and substantial green cover without second thought caused the near normal life of the privileged citizens during floods.
Run offs-In my village whatever rain touching the ground find its destination and never ever those droplets seeks revenge of our citizens. Mainly because of the adequately spaced housing and green cover rains always bless us.
I can still feel the smell of the rainy air while writing this. One thing should not go unmentioned,which is the next heading Planning.
Rural/Urban Planning- though the Urban feels the big brother in this issue, when you take comprehensively rural areas atleast have even grounds so the water may seek the graveyard without sheltering our homes. Imagine your at max possibility of devastating floods in villages. Well the intensity will be quite unexpected.Slums are the exceptions. This heading goes more lengthy,because i need a safety valve to express my yellings. Can't just stop thinking about the issue "CONCENTRATED DEVELOPMENT". Our hounourable then President Dr.Abdul told about PURA schemes. But the governments are not listening as their unintended aim is "CONCENTRATED DEVELOPMENT". So slums are the Preemie babies of "CONCENTRATED DEVELOPMENT". And the asylum they get is low lying,unhygienic pockers of Urban areas.
Nature resides in villages. Give some to Town areas. Don't blame the so called "Floods". Flood can never be a "Flood" if we give way to nature in so called developed parts of the country. Sustainable Development needs a in depth approach.
"plan it,do it"
If u think of one reason, i will tell you many.
