By Express News ServiceHYDERABAD: The State government has proposed to construct a rain garden to create a more natural flow for storm-water to allow it to soak into the ground. These rain gardens are a novel way to trap storm water runoff from diverse surfaces and integrated with the landscape. As a pilot project, HMDA started implementing the Rain Garden project underneath Begumpet flyover at the intersection of Kukatpally and Yousufguda nalas. According to HMDA officials, the rain garden addresses certain key features which include storm water management by strengthening the soft edges of the embankment and ensuring smooth flow of water. The project helps in protecting these encroached lands and establishing an interplay between ecology and public open spaces..
