Urban flooding’s looming threat

Urban flooding's looming threat

We really want to regard the admonitions presented by the environment emergency and metropolitan floods. Indian urban areas should be prepared for continuous outrageous occasions.
Tornado Michaung has tossed life in Chennai out of stuff. a downpour that was unusually heavy (151 millimeters in 24 hours, the third highest in a 24 hour period at 8.30 a.m. on December 4); also, the 24 hours finishing at 8.30 am on December 5 will probably be more awful) has constrained the public authority to bring in the military for salvage and alleviation. The air terminal is shut and many trains have been dropped. The city’s residents are still haunted by the floods of 2015, so schools are closed. Two record-breaking deluges on November 16 and December 2 and blunder of repositories had caused devastation in the city that year. These extreme weather conditions are no longer sporadic. Delhi, this year, Bengaluru last year and Mumbai in 2005 saw destroying floods. These events are caused by both local and global factors. The increasing demands of the population have put too much strain on the infrastructure. The encroachment of rivers’ floodplains, lakes, and tanks has impeded floodwater drainage. These disasters have been made worse by the climate crisis. During the monsoon season, scattered rain typically falls within a day or two. The urban drainage system, which is already creaking, is stretched even more, which eventually breaks down.
