A coastal state administration is formulating an Urban Drainage and Flood Risk Mitigation Policy for a densely populated port city that suffers from severe monsoon waterlogging due to heavy plastic clogging in major urban canals. The administration aims to ensure immediate operational efficiency, administrative feasibility, and socio-economic sustainability without causing public distress. Which of the following measures represent administratively feasible and sustainable policy interventions for the state administration to implement?
- Installing automated waste interceptor screens at critical canal junctions alongside engaging local community self-help groups for decentralized waste monitoring and collection.Cevap
- BEnforcing an immediate, blanket ban on all commercial activities and ordering the demolition of all vendor structures within a 500-meter radius of canal banks without prior notice or rehabilitation.
- Implementing a phased regulatory restriction on single-use non-biodegradable plastics along vendor corridors while introducing subsidized eco-friendly packaging alternatives for small businesses.Cevap
- DSuspending all regular seasonal canal desilting and maintenance operations until a complete multi-billion dollar subterranean drainage network project is conceptualized and fully funded.
Cevap
The correct measures are installing automated waste interceptors with community-led collection, and introducing a phased restriction on single-use plastics with subsidized eco-friendly alternatives.
The combination of technological waste interceptors with community involvement and a phased plastic restriction supported by eco-friendly subsidies balances immediate flood relief with sustainable long-term policy compliance and economic feasibility.
