IIT Study Maps Interconnected Flooding and Water Flow in Gurugram
A technical study by IIT-Gandhinagar and AIReSQ for the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram mapped water flow across 117 sectors during a simulated heavy rainfall, estimating 31.48 million cubic metres of water entering the city over six hours. The study highlighted interconnected flooding across sectors and warned that fixing drains in one area could shift flooding elsewhere. It identified three chronic flood hotspots for priority intervention and proposed solutions like underground detention tanks to address root causes.
