Abstract
The state administration has realised that floods are caused by a poor drainage system. Natural and artificial drains in the city get clogged during heavy rains and spill on to the roads. The Bharalu, the only river which flows through Guwahati and carries excess rainwater to the Brahmaputra, has been reduced to a dumping ground for garbage by the residents.
