This is second in the ongoing series of blogs on Urban India Going Underwater. Read the first blog here. Rampant urbanization and climate change are twin triggers causing severe and frequent urban flooding across India. Traditional grey stormwater infrastructure such as gutters, storm drains, collection systems and pumps, are designed to quickly move urban stormwater away from the built environment. But every year we see recurring cases of such infrastructure failing to reduce urban flooding events across a range of Indian cities.
