M. Vijai Kishore, Achal Garg

Abstract :

 The storm water drainage of Dehradun city is a complex situation, owing to the combination of a number of natural and man–made drainage systems. There are a large number of mid–size drains that are either unlined or have damaged lining. The current drainage system of the city employs simple covered drain systems in most parts. There is a quick need to plan for a proper solution to the sewage outlet of the rapid growing capital city of the hill state of Uttarakhand. In this paper, we are discussing the major issues of the drainage system along with plan to overcome the existing problem and reviewing the status of the existing drainage system of the city and the infrastructure for setup. Recognizing the problems of the drainage and storm water management, we present recommendations for the decision makers to find sustainable solutions for development of the city.
