Improper Drainage System
Description: -
The problem that I have selected is one of very important in its kind. During the visit of our
class at Bhitai Abad community for community assessment, I observed the improper
management of drainage water in the community. There is a big drainage canal flowing
through the community which is causing health hazards to the community that can be seen on
the satellite picture taken from Google earth provided with my reflective log. Beside this the
small drains at the community were also not in good condition. Some of the main holes were
uncovered.
My Feelings: -
I was not feeling so surprising, because in a country like this in which we hear the news of
bomb blasts every day, the improper drainage system of the community keeps no importance.
But I feel that it is matter that needs attention, because it is causing significant health hazards
to the community, both directly and indirectly.
Literature review/ analysis: -
When I analyze this entire situation being a medical professional, I observe the impact of this
kind of environment from diverse perspectives. First of all hygiene is the basic component of
any human settlement. The large open drainage canal flowing through the community is a site
of mosquito breeding which subsequently causes malaria. Due to the presence herbs it is also
a big source of the breeding of other insects, rodents and snakes. Children playing in the
streets can become the victim of the drowning in to the drainage water; hence it is hazardous
from the children’s safety view point. The literature that I have revised, say that the drainage
system should be covered/ it should be away from population or measures should be taken to
prevent mosquito breeding.

Improper Drainage System
Plan/ Suggestions: -
The reason behind these circumstances is the lack of resources and the mismanagement of the
available resources. There is the dire need of correction of these issues. Otherwise the people
will continue to suffer in the same way. To improve the situation all the concerned persons
should take steps to solve the problem. Government should make sure the proper
maintenance of the drainage system. People should realize the problem and should make
efforts to emphasize the government and we as the students of community health nursing
should create the awareness in people about the consequences. A mosquito control program
can also be started. Mosquito control manages the population of mosquitoes to reduce their
damage to human health, economies, and enjoyment. Mosquito control is a vital public-health
practice throughout the world and especially in the tropics because mosquitoes spread many
diseases, such as malaria.
