IIT Experts and Gurugram Authorities Assess Underground Solutions for Waterlogging
Professors from IIT Gandhinagar, alongside officials from the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram and Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, inspected waterlogging-prone areas including Subhash Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, and Sectors 46 and 47. They assessed drainage systems and explored long-term solutions involving high-capacity underground storage tanks and injection wells to capture rainwater, enhance groundwater recharge, and improve drainage. The plan includes injection wells with capacities of 48-80 litres per second and a SCADA-based smart water management system to reduce waterlogging and manage stormwater effectively.
