Largely covering all aspects of water related basic civic infrastructure, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation #AMRUT focuses on development of storm water drains to mitigate flooding in cities/ areas of heavy rains & hilly States.

After universal coverage of water and sewerage, storm water drainage is given the next priority. Construction & maintenance of storm water drains reduces & ultimately eliminates flooding & water logging problems, thereby making cities resilient.

This includes construction of network of primary & secondary drainage, proper drainage network to identified water stagnant point/flooding points up to the end discharge point & rejuvenation of existing primary nallahs & primary drains including covering & installation of filter.
