No respite from water logging in Dhaka soon: WASA officials Abdul Kader Dhaka, like the previous years, is likely experience water logging this monsoon despite reclamation of a number of canals during the past few years, some officials of the Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority said. Although more 1,000 unauthorised structures were demolished since the beginning of the canal reclamation drive in 2005, the Dhaka WASA has no capacity to drain out water of heavy rainfall for several hours, they said referring to the poor drainage system of the water agency.
