Urban Rain Water Logging In Greater Hyderabad - A Spatial Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Urban Centers In India Face An Ironical Situation I.E. On One Hand There Is An Acute Water Scarcity And On The Other Hand The Streets Are Flooded With Heavy Downpour Throwing The Traffic Out Of Gear. Problems Associated Water Logging In Terms Of Traffic Congestion; Break Down Of Vehicles And Worsening Of Road Conditions Immediately After Rain Can Estimate To Run In Lakhs Of Rupees Even In A Day. This Situation Worsens Year After Year Particularly In A Mega City Like Hyderabad Where Water Stagnation Has Attained Notoriety In Combination With Road Digging For Cables, Metro Water Pipe Laying And Other Factors. Water Stagnation Owing To It’s Short Lived Nature Is Simply Neglected Aspect In Urban Context. The Problem Of Water Logging Is A Direct Consequence Of Intensity Of Rainfall Compounded By Anthropogenic Factors In An Urban Environment. The Consequence Of Urban Spatial Growth Has Witnessed The Encroachment Of Water Bodies. Nearly 25 Percent Of Water Bodies In And Around Hyderabad Have Been Consumed By Urban Expansion. The Problem Of Water Logging In Hyderabad Is Inching Towards A Crisis. Keeping In View Contemporary Challenge, A Need Is Felt To Delvedeep Into This Grave But Neglected Problem Faced By The City Along With Urban Flooding . It Is Also Important To Note That Rainwater Logging In Hyderabad Is Not A New Phenomenon, But It’s Frequency Is Increasing. The City Is Experiencing Water Logging Even If It Rains Little , And Causes Serious Problem In Certain Parts Of The City.In This Paper An Attempt Is Made To Study The Spatial Distribution Of Waterlogging Points Of Greater Hyderabd For The Year 2015
