This document summarizes a study on the drainage system in Ward 10 of Pabna, Bangladesh. It was presented by a group of 4 students to faculty at Pabna University of Science and Technology. The study examined the existing drainage conditions, identified problems like waste dumping, and proposed recommendations. Major findings were that 60% of drains are open, 55% of drainage problems are due to waste dumping, and 85% of residents are dissatisfied with the current system. Suggestions included expanding drainage networks, enforcing waste management, and offering tax reductions for clean areas. In conclusion, sustainable drainage is needed due to unplanned urban growth negatively impacting natural water systems.

4.  Drainage is an integral part of natural eco-system.
 Drainage system is an very important element of a
city ,impacts in our environment and daily life.
 With the rapid growth of urbanization drainage
problem is one of the major problem in all over the
country .
 In Pabna city the condition of drainage system is
not good.
 Our study area is 10no ward. As it is a residential
area the drainage system is better than other area
in pabna.

5. 1. To identify the past and present condition of the
drainage system.
2. To identify the problems and its impact on this
area.
3. To formulate some strategy and policy
guidelines for developing of drainage system.

7.  Drainage system is an excessively wet land area
with a network of channels, drains, and hydraulic
engineering and other structures that provide for
drainage.
 Regulating, protective, and conducting are the
major elements of drainage system.
 Drainage systems may be open or closed
(subsurface), depending on the drainage method.
 The design of a drainage system depends on the
soil and on the hydrogeological, economic, and
other conditions of the terrain

8.  Due to fast and uncontrolled urbanization dhaka
city face drainage problem in every monsoon.
 social, physical, economic and environmental
impacts in the life and living in Dhaka.
 Disruption of traffic movement and normal life,
damage of structures and infrastructure.
 Coordination among urban authorities and
collaboration between public and private sectors is
needed for sustainable operation of the drainage
system to minimize water logging in Dhaka.

city is not so good.
 Every monsoon total Pabna city has to face
extensive drainage problem .
 Creates social, physical, economic and
environmental impacts in peoples regular life.
 Disruption of traffic movement and daily life ,also
damage of structures and infrastructure

21.  Still few area of this ward there is no drainage
system.
 The drainage condition of the area is so poor.
 The structural condition of those existing
drainage are very low quality .
 Solid waste management is a big reasons
behind bad drainage system of the area.
 There is no central drainage disposal center
also
21

22.  tertiary drainage network for all underdeveloped
areas and proposed new developments are to be
planned in advance
 a minimum drain width and depth of 1ft 6 inches
and 2 feet respectively are to be ensured
 1/4th of the road width is to be kept as drainage
 Pabna pouroshova (PP) may offer a reduction (say
10%) in holding tax to property owners with
waste free surroundings.
22

23.  Drainage system in 10-number ward, Pabna is the
consequence of unplanned development
 Due to rapid urbanization with unplanned
construction, most of the storm water drainage have
been encroached
 Sustainable drainage system can form a key part of
sustainable development by reducing the impacts
 A close coordination among urban authorities and
agencies and collaboration between public and
private sectors is needed for effective management
and sustainable development/restoration and
operation of the natural drainage system to improve
water logging situation.
