Millions of slum residents across the world suffer the hazards and
misery of frequent flooding of their streets and homes, which may
result in the savings of a lifetime being washed away in a few
hours, damaged property, loss of work and time, and higher risks of
diarrhea, worm infection, and other health problems. This manual is
written to help engineers, aid, and agency workers more clearly to
understand drainage problems in the developing world, so that they
can work towards finding practical solutions. It focuses on three
questions of particular relevance to low-income urban areas in
developing countries: What is drainage performance? How can we
evaluate a drainage system to improve its performance? What are the
effects of solids on the performance of drains? This manual is the
outcome of two-and-a-half years of fieldwork in the city of Indore,
in Madhya Pradesh, India and can be used as a practical aid by
municipal engineers, consulting engineers, and engineering
instructors and students, as well as development and aid workers
involved in drainage systems.
