What initiative has the Delhi Government proposed in its Drainage Master Plan to reduce waterlogging?
Silt trapsThe Delhi Government's Drainage Master Plan includes the construction of 'silt traps' along major drains to prevent clogging and waterlogging. These silt traps are designed as separate chambers built alongside drainage lines at a lower level to collect silt carried by stormwater. Inspired by a successful pilot project in Chennai, this method prevents silt from entering the main drainage system, thereby maintaining flow capacity. The plan aims to reduce waterlogging episodes by 50% in three years and flood-related accidents by 30% in five years. It will be implemented over five years in two phases across three basins: Najafgarh, Barapullah, and Trans-Yamuna.
