The problem is not with the engineers or the engineering. It is with our structures, processes, and way of life.
Maybe we should hire 2,000–3,000 engineers from Germany, China, and Japan with a blank cheque to fix our drainage systems here. Maybe we lack the know-how in our system & education and shouldn’t feel ashamed about it.

Context: When Kamarajar was chief minister of Madras state, some 200+ acres of guindy national park (then reserve) forest land & a lake were given to build IIT-Madras. Animals hence roam around campus. Since we don't remove lake bunds, the old lake area gets flooded once a while.

Our highways and roads are constructed like dams with no culverts to carry water from one side to the other. This has led to flooding in many places as well.
