Perennial floods:are there any longterm solutions?
June 30, 2009
The incessant rainfall over the past few weeks has seriously flooded some parts of the country . Every year this happens -the rains come along with floods.
When the floods come in drains are choked and people are killed ,property is destroyed and our roads are terrible. how do we solve this problem of floods in the country? Do we wait and provide relief to flood victims, fill pot holes and desilt some choked drains after the floods?
Not that these solutions are not good enough but what can be done in anticipation of such disasters? What is the way forward?
what do you think? are there any long term solutions to the perennial floods?

Got something to say?








the long term solutions are as follows:
Critical drainage facilities should be constructed
Development planning laws should be implemented to the letter without political interferance
Public needs education on waste disposal
District Assemblies should be well positioned to play their roles properly.
