I live in an area where flood was one of the issues several years ago, but today we don’t experience such again after the construction of large under bridge for passage of water within the city. Lack of drainage and poor maintenance of large drainages for water passage can be one of the causes. If you notice in some locations within the country, a town or an area where there is no good drainage system passing the area, the roads are easily damaged and houses get affected by this flood.

The government has a vital role to play by constructing those large under bridges for water passage in order to mitigate the effect of flooding in those riverine communities. Also, we the people also need to understand that it is our duty to also provide water passages in our areas to also help curtail the flooding into damaging homes and roads in those vicinities.
