Abstract
Water logging is a severe problem in the Garden Reach area of Kolkata Metropolitan region. Water logging in Garden Reach area can be classified into two types which are rainfall induced water logging and tide water induced water logging. Rainfall induced water logging in Garden Reach is caused by local rainfall occur in the built up areas. Tidal water from river Hugli enters into the area and thus induced water logging which remains for few hours. Tidal water effect becomes very severe design rainy seasons. Water logging is a situation of flooding in built up areas caused by stagnant water for long time due to lack of proper drainage system and creates adverse impact on daily life. Among the vulnerable areas of Kolkata, Garden Reach is situated in the love lying areas of River Hugli and the communities who are vulnerably affected are mainly poor or middle class people living in shanties and old no uses in congested areas near the canals. Garden Reach falls under macro tidal range and hence it gets affected during the ban which is usually accentuated by the rains and cause water logging. Garden Reach falls under the vulnerable areas of tidal upsurge.
