It was a bit odd to see parts of many streets and roads in Delhi being waterlogged just after a few hours of intermittent rains a few days ago. This shows a major problem with the drainage system in the city. Delhi gets rains like this only for few weeks in a year during every month. But even then the city could not cope with it. The situation was especially bad on the roads below some flyovers. Many drivers had to abandon their cars after being stranded in pools of water. Waterlogging refers to the saturation of soil with water. When new roads are being built, especially in low-lying areas, it is important that a proper drainage system is put in place so that water is quickly drained in case of rain. As being of a capital of India, it is incongruous to see flooded roads after a spell of rain.
