It is an all too familiar scene every rainy season. Even the most modest downpour leaves the city paralysed as clogged drains overflow downpour and flood the pothole roads. We don't often think about why this is so as the struggle of getting to our destination negotiating the flooded roads preoccupies us. But once upon a time even the heaviest rainfall would not become such a watery nightmare. This is because we had canals back then. Canals are not normally what Dhaka dwellers think about. But as the rainy season comes on with its usual vengeance, they are the most important water bodies we should be worried about.
