Drainage FAIL

I don't have a good photo of this issue, but let me paint with words.

Drainage is something I take for granted as an American.  I expect that when it rains, the road gets wet, the water moves into the ditches and drains, and I can safely travel along my way.  Here in Hyderabad, I've seen little evidence of provisions being made for proper drainage.  There seems to be little excuse given that it rains heavily several months of the year.

There are places where water six inches or more deep stands blocking or slowing traffic for days at a time.  As modern as some off the buildings here may be, the streets and roads leave a lot to be desired.

For this I declare "Drainage FAIL."
