Aditya Thackeray came up with the concept of monsoon holding tanks to reduce waterlogging
News Input by Radhika Joshi Hm Staff :
Along with Corporator Urmila Panchal ji, AMC Velarasu ji & engineers of HE Dept, we visited ongoing works at Pramod Mahajan Udyan, Hind Mata Flyover, St Xaviers Ground for a project I have been personally keen on- monsoon holding tanks in Hind Mata area, tweeted by Aditya Thackeray
Also added, These large underground holding tanks will help us hold monsoon water for at least 3 hours, considerably reducing water logging considerably during hours of high tide & heavy rainfall. This would be replicated across Mumbai’s specific areas that are water logged during heavy rains
The underground tanks would be covered on top with the urban landscape as earlier and would be invisible at surface.
The @mybmc has begun scouting for more such potential sites for water logging prone areas in Mumbai where pumps are challenge by geography and heavy rain.
