ABSTRACT: This paper explores the rapid growth of Noida and its widespread issue of open drains. The primary objective is to assess how the presence of these drains affects the quality of life among affected communities. This is done through data collected from the administration of a multiplechoice questionnaire among the residents of Noida. There is a significant gap between urban waste management and the quality of life of the inhabitants, which this study aims to highlight. By conducting a survey among those residing and working near open drains in Noida, the paper evaluates and analyzes the impact on individuals and communities across several axes. These include health, lifestyle, expenditure, and property values. This research intends to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic consequences of open drains, highlighting the urgent need for improved urban waste management solutions to enhance the quality of life in rapidly growing urban areas like Noida.
