Delhi's 2023 Floods Linked to Rapid Urbanization, Climate Change

A group of scientists and researchers from IIT Roorkee have raised alarms over the escalating risks of floods tied to rapid urbanization and climatic changes in the floodplains of the Yamuna River in Delhi. By analysing the 2023 deluge, they found a significant rise in built-up areas near the river over the past three decades, particularly in regions such as Shastri Park, Majnu ka Tilla, and Akshardham. This urban growth has led to a drastic reduction in green areas, aggravating the city’s susceptibility to heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding. The study highlights the critical intersection between human development and flood-prone zones, stressing the need for immediate and proactive urban planning alongside enhanced flood management strategies to protect communities.
