Gurugram Floods Due To Loss Of Natural Drainage

The Better India · she

Gurugram experienced severe flooding after receiving 75 mm of rain, causing waterlogging and traffic disruption. The city's rapid urbanisation, transforming agricultural land into concrete structures, has reduced its natural capacity to absorb rainwater. Hundreds of water bodies have disappeared, increasing surface runoff and overwhelming the drainage system. This transformation from fields to a corporate hub highlights the environmental impact of unchecked development.
