Geographical factors like low-lying areas, heavy rain, lack of vegetation, overconstruction, and poor city planning contribute to urban flooding. This leads to consequences such as loss of life and property, power outages, disrupted businesses, and contaminated water. Effective solutions include early flood warnings, preserving water bodies, collecting rainwater, removing illegal buildings, and creating smaller suburban cities instead of one large urban city. Hello all. Today I will share the geographical factors contributing to urban flooding, explain the impacts on communities and propose effective solutions. Let's start. Some causes might be because the city is in a low-lying area, there is torrential rain, a sloped surface without vegetation is nearby, overconstruction, no proper city planning, construction on lake beds, creating impervious surfaces, closing overflow channels, etc. Several impacts are loss of life and property, power outages, business disruption, unclean water, etc. Some effective solutions will be early flood warnings, conserving water bodies, rainwater harvesting, removing illegally constructed buildings and opening canals, building smaller suburban cities instead of one urban city. Thank you for listening.
