Why this is being asked

The large outfall at the Mohakhali crossing fails in heavy rain and floods a wide area. The four smaller clearances are in lanes that flood more often but affect fewer people each. The budget does not cover both.

What will be done with the result

WASA will put the result to the drainage committee with the engineering assessment. The chosen scheme and the reason for it will be published before work begins.
