Indian ancient urban drainage systems are today convertible modern sustainable drainage systems which place engineering scientific practices of surface, sub-surface drainage systems and storm water management in a new Smart Capital operation of “Amaravati” in the State of Andhra Pradesh (AP) in India. Urban drainage systems, on the other side, are an essential part of water conservation and preservation. Managing and dispersing water runoff volumes and flowrates will water our vegetation without drowning it and enhance water quality. The collected water is used to replenish town’s fresh water supply. Therefore, selecting proper drain systems is of vital importance in sustainable urban development. To achieve this, we have developed the drain cycle to explain better how drain systems work and recommend the revised scientific research methods and to establish them. In this paper, we emphasize the significant findings of Smart & Sustainable drainage design systems for various urban applications and we also propose the two scientific identifiers, “UK2AP” & “AP2UK” for AP State Capital “Amaravati” development as prime course of initiative.
