Keeping floods away with simple actions

Recipe for disaster: Even in dry days, clogged drains will stop water from flowing into drainage channels, what more during heavy rain.

AFTER the floodwaters have receded, the victims in particular and the public in general public will usually pour their anger and frustration on the authorities. There will be demands for action to be taken by the authorities to prevent or at least mitigate the effects of future floods.

Obviously, money, resources and manpower are needed to prevent floods, which are getting quite frequent in some areas. Naturally, the resources will have to come from the government.
