Abstract

The flow of water through well decorated channels is known as drainage and the network of the channels are called drainage systems. The drainage system of an area is dependent on topography, Slope, nature and structure of rocks etc components. Sometimes drainage related problems occur due to some known and unknown reasons. This Research paper concentrated on the problems of drainage outlets and its impact on physical and socioeconomically also how to do manage it, on selected Villages of Lakshmi Janardhan Gram Panchayat of Pathar Pratima CD block in South 24 Pargana. Premature land reclamation and unplanned land use practices play a major role in creating drainage base some environmental problems such as drainage outlets problem Salinity and impeded drainage. This problem affects soil, Surface and Groundwater, Agricultural land and also overall livelihood of the area. More than 70 % of people in the study area are dependent on agricultural activities. They are highly affected due to the poor drainage conditions basically in monsoon season and also in atmospheric depressions. The main objective of the study is to analyze the impact of drainage outlet problems on the physical and socio- economic phenomenon of the respective study area. The work of the study has done through field Survey base on qualitative research method and secondary data after collecting the data through randomly from authentic sources it has been analysis and interpretation through the proper way the result finds out that this area suffering from the problem of drainage outlet in day by day basically in monsoon season. In this work, beside highlighting the problem and its impact on the physical and man-made environment of the study area, some authentic Management strategies have been stated to get rid of this problem. The study concludes that the consciousness of the local people in the study area is the main power to solve this problem, otherwise application of this method will be uncatched to solve this problem.
