Abstract A prototype of storm-water drainage inlet also known as grate for intake efficiency and sufficient durability is presented. Storm water drainage inlet is designed to carry excess water remains after infiltration in an urban area. The approach here is to provide access control over the urban flooding, clogging problems, maintenance, pavement deterioration and few more little ones. As soon as when the rainfall starts, one first thinks that there should not be enough rain which auses water ponding in their area and when water ponding occurs in their area, community starts blaming Municipal Corporation for not providing better service. The present prototype have such efficient and sufficient system in which no or very less water ponding occurs which might not create a problem. Thus, this leads us to design a durable and efficient grate which might solve this problem. Actually, due to breaking of grates, clogging occurs and it is thus the main cause which blocks the storm water from entering into grate and hence breaking problem should be solved. For this, we have designed the reinforcement as monolithic by different methods and with proper quality control to achieve durability. After all the analysis and testing of prototype on Universal Testing Machine, we can say that our prototype is more durable compare to conventional as it have higher flexural strength.
