Man-Made disaster in Chennai
Chennai faces flooding almost every year due to improper drainage of the runoff from extreme rainfall caused by cyclones. Though extreme rainfall and cyclones are part of the natural climate of the region, in recent decades, the frequency of erratic rainfall has increased significantly. At the same time, the city also faces heatwaves and water scarcity issues. The dense city fabric and lack of sufficient urban greens, exacerbates the situation and causes urban heat islands which affects the quality of life and livability of neighbourhoods within the city. Carefully planned and executed flood and urban heat mitigation are of paramount importance to improve the living conditions for its residents.
