&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Experts say flooding in urban and peri-urban areas are happening due to unplanned waste dumping and continuous disregard for natural recharge structures like ponds, wetlands, and tanks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Safdarjung Observatory, one of Delhi&amp;#39;s primary weather stations, recorded 189.6 mm of rainfall between June 1 and July 22, which is less than normal (201 mm). But it didn&amp;rsquo;t change the picture. Every time it rains, water-logging and subsequent traffic snarl for hours have become a frequent phenomenon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This is not just the case in Delhi. Other cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Gurugram, too, come to a standstill whenever it rains. All these cities face urban flooding during the monsoons. Unlike rural floods, urban flooding is caused by untrammelled urbanisation, rather than just higher precipitation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When the amount of precipitation increases, it causes bigger floods. In the 2020 flood in Hyderabad, thousands of houses were submerged and over 50 people lost their lives. The 2015 Chennai flood is a stark reminder of how rapid urbanisation is making cities prone to urban floods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Floods can create havoc even when the amount of precipitation is less than which usually causes flooding. Chennai, which is a water-scarce city, has continuously witnessed depletion of its water table. Experts say flooding in urban and peri-urban areas are happening due to unplanned waste dumping and continuous disregard for natural recharge structures like ponds, wetlands, and tanks. The situation is similar in every city beset with unplanned development, mindless construction.&lt;/p&gt;

But it didn&amp;rsquo;t change the picture. Every time it rains, water-logging and subsequent traffic snarl for hours have become a frequent phenomenon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This is not just the case in Delhi. Other cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Gurugram, too, come to a standstill whenever it rains. All these cities face urban flooding during the monsoons. Unlike rural floods, urban flooding is caused by untrammelled urbanisation, rather than just higher precipitation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When the amount of precipitation increases, it causes bigger floods. In the 2020 flood in Hyderabad, thousands of houses were submerged and over 50 people lost their lives. The 2015 Chennai flood is a stark reminder of how rapid urbanisation is making cities prone to urban floods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Floods can create havoc even when the amount of precipitation is less than which usually causes flooding. Chennai, which is a water-scarce city, has continuously witnessed depletion of its water table. Experts say flooding in urban and peri-urban areas are happening due to unplanned waste dumping and continuous disregard for natural recharge structures like ponds, wetlands, and tanks.

Explained: How Unplanned Development And Disregard To Natural Water Bodies Cause Urban Flooding -Mayank Jain Parichha

-Outlook India Experts say flooding in urban and peri-urban areas are happening due to unplanned waste dumping and continuous disregard for natural recharge structures like ponds, wetlands, and tanks. The Safdarjung Observatory, one of Delhi's primary weather stations, recorded 189.6 mm of rainfall between June 1 and July 22, which is less than normal (201 mm). But it didn’t change the picture. Every time it rains, water-logging and subsequent traffic snarl for hours have become a frequent phenomenon.  This is not just the case in Delhi. Other cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Gurugram, too, come to a standstill whenever it rains. All these cities face urban flooding during the monsoons. Unlike rural floods, urban flooding is caused by untrammelled urbanisation, rather than just higher precipitation.  When the amount of precipitation increases, it causes bigger floods. In the 2020 flood in Hyderabad, thousands of houses were submerged and over 50 people lost their lives. The 2015 Chennai flood is a stark reminder of how rapid urbanisation is making cities prone to urban floods. Floods can create havoc even when the amount of precipitation is less than which usually causes flooding. Chennai, which is a water-scarce city, has continuously witnessed depletion of its water table. Experts say flooding in urban and peri-urban areas are happening due to unplanned waste dumping and continuous disregard for natural recharge structures like ponds, wetlands, and tanks. The situation is similar in every city beset with unplanned development, mindless construction. Please click here to access.
