BMC Launches New Assessment of Mumbai's Coastal Flooding Risks
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has initiated a new coastal risk assessment to evaluate Mumbai's vulnerability to rising sea levels and increased flooding. This study, the second in five years, will analyze changes in the city's coastline, land use, and climate impacts to identify areas and populations at risk. The assessment responds to global sea-level rise trends and local developments, aiming to inform future planning and protection measures. The report is expected next year.
