Overview

Policy analysis demonstrates severe pluvial and fluvial flooding risks in Indian metropolitan cities, highlighting the need for resilience-based spatial planning.

Key Points

  • Rapid urbanization exacerbates pluvial flooding when storm runoff exceeds municipal drainage capacity, threatening critical infrastructure and dense populations across Indian cities.
  • Fluvial flooding occurs as overflowing river systems submerge surrounding natural floodplains, compounding disaster exposure in vulnerable metropolitan environments lacking adequate buffers.
  • Assessment of flood vulnerability index indicators underscores an urgent need for spatial planning and sponge cities frameworks to strengthen urban climate resilience.
