Hi there,I am Avocados







From past 3 years, the monsoons in Mumbai has been creating a havoc. The largest destruction being the monsoons in 2005. June 26 that year saw the whole city struggling with as many as 300 and more people losing their lives. The streets of Mumbai were badly hit with floods of water destroying houses, lives, transportation and bringing the whole city to a standstill. People were stranded at workplaces, railway stations. Mass destruction of property and lives. It took the city almost 2 months to come back to its routine life.
Water logging is one of the resons for the floods sweeling up in the city with an average rainfall. This year, water logging was reported from as many as 31 locations in the city during the weekend. The heavy flooding witnessed on the city's roads railway tracks and low-lying areas have more to do with both the high tide situation and the metropolis' poor drainage system than anything else. For, the city's century-old drains are ill-equipped to handle a even a meager 25 mm rainfall per hour. Garbage and waste lay scattered, which caused water logging on rail tracks after the two days' non-stop raining.
