Who do you build the golf courses for? Certainly not for the poor and the homeless!!

These steps can include but not limited to:
Appoint a high powered parlimentary/technical committee(s) to identify the causes and make recommendations

Assign clear accountability in terms of maintainance of drainage systems and flood water outlets from the city

Introduce strict regulations to prevent the filling of land without an environmental

Also dredging and cleaning of main canals on a regular basis is a must.

Affordable and effective drainage systems including the type used in Singapore should be evaluated for phased implementation as new building construction occurs, to supplement existing systems that are currently functioning above design capacity and barely able to drain water effectively in even mild rainstorms.

It is imperative that there is proper evcuation of the excess water for the citizens to lead normal life with out undue stress.

]]> Fri, 25 May 2007 12:53:33 UTC 1777563 Mrs Chris Dharmakirti [Signature #25] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1777326?utm_medium=rss We need an urgent carrying capacity study for utilities and ameneties services for Colombo and other fast growing urban cities. The devolution of powers have placed the responsibility upon urban councils, municipal councils and provincial councils. It is time these elected local government city fathers recognize the damage caused to natural drainage systems because of mindless landfills and the disposals of construction debris and garbage that have led to blocked streams and clogged drains.

]]> Thu, 24 May 2007 11:53:20 UTC 1777326 Mrs Enid Dharmakirti [Signature #24] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1777265?utm_medium=rss I don't think our city fathers of Colombo have done much in the way of improvements of the sewerage system built during British colonial times for a population density much less than today. Colombo during my childhood days in the early 1920's, was a garden city with first-world ameneties including piped gas and even piped radio. Now those pipes are gone, and the only pipes left, -- the sewerage and water -- are both blocked and broken. Stop filling low lying marsh lands and dredge the canals

Let the Beira lake fill with fresh water, not sewerage and street runoff
A project like this could create the inspiration that we in pollution ridden Colombo could do well with a landmark project for the big city first, then map everything from gutters to drains using laser scanning and define zones by watershed
