Brimstowad

Friday's flooding of Mumbai has brought the focus back on BRIMSTOWAD, the BrihanMumbai Storm Water Disposal System, which has seen cost escalation and delays. Under the system, launched after the disastrous 2005 floods, the government plans to upgrade the city's 100-year-old drainage system and construct new pumping stations.

Mumbai continues to remain highly vulnerable to heavy rains that occur almost every year despite having identified the solutions to reduce the risk two decades ago, a World Bank report has said.
