Mumbai is unprepared for future deluges, with a booming population and increasing frequency of heavy rain days, according to studies. Over 35% of the city s population lives within 250 meters of chronic flooding hotspots, while less than half have access to flood shelters. The intensity of monsoon rainfall in Mumbai is intensifying, and the city is also experiencing land subsidence. Recent analyses have found that certain areas of Mumbai are at risk of submergence due to sea-level rise. Around 998 buildings and 24km of road length will be affected by potential sea-level rise by 2050. | Mumbai news
