Solution

Improper drainage can create unhygienic and unsanitary conditions in our neighbourhood. Open, dirty and stagnant water serves as breeding place for flies and mosquitoes. Sometimes, the river water and groundwater, which are sources of drinking water, get contaminated with human excreta and can spread water-borne diseases like cholera, typhoid etc.
