YouTube Description:
Why does Gurgaon (Gurugram) experience severe waterlogging during heavy monsoon rainfall? 🌧️🏙️
Urban flooding is not simply a rainfall problem. As cities expand, roads, buildings and other impervious surfaces reduce the amount of rainwater that can infiltrate into the ground. More water becomes surface runoff, putting greater pressure on drainage systems.
In this short explainer, we break down the geography behind urban flooding in Gurgaon — from concrete surfaces and reduced infiltration to runoff, drainage and natural water pathways.
The key lesson: urban flooding is closely connected to land use, drainage and how cities manage water.
