Abstract

Rapid urbanization and changing climate have impacted the urban water cycle. Urban cities are under water stress and hence water-smart cities are the need of the hour. Urban floods impact the performance of smart cities and are considered to be critical in designing smart cities. Peak Flow of food occurs with high intense rainfall for short durations in core urban areas, disrupting economic activities. Urban floods become disastrous due to lack of efficient drainage systems. Urban floods also bring huge volumes of flood which could be routed for other smart utilizations. This study discusses the various strategies to manage and integrate urban floods in water smart city development. Indian scenario regarding urban flood management has been reviewed in this paper.

Keywords
