Yes, nicely written, plenty words. Every one blames choked gutters. Choked drains. But take all accra drains, make them clean and divide the flood waters in them. What do you see? Excess. So the problem is not only or mainly gutters or drains choked. There are just too many roofs, my people and very littel empty spaces for run off water to percolate, sink into the ground. What can be done about this? Maybe breaking structures and compensating people.
