This concept paper describes the behavior of a clogged drain in an event of a heavy rainfall. Solid waste accumulates in drainage systems, heavy rainfall, increased runoff volume and stagnation of runoff flow could collectively lead to sudden flash floods in compact cities. Events leading up to a flash flood attack in a city show a marked similarity to the cascade of events leading to a heart attack. Accumulation of fat in coronary arteries restricts the blood flow to the cardiac tissue. When the arterial occlusion is beyond a critical level, myocardial death occurs. This condition is commonly known as a �heart attack.� The clinical solution for this is known as coronary artery bypass grafting. As such, this paper urged for a novel technical solution which, could be introduced to reroute stagnated water flow in a clogged drain with the objective of treating the socioeconomic impact of �Blocked Drains Syndrome.� © 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
