Abstract:

The possible hazards in urban environments are unique to each location and contingent upon the capacity for recovery and adaptation, therefore necessitating examination having a local perspective. Accurately measuring and assessing the effects of climate on urban areas is essential to guarantee the societal and financial advantages of urban growth. The study's research framework provides a comprehensive technique for investigating the impacts of climate change on urban hydrology. The study examines several approaches for assessing hazards and suggests strategies to improve urban flood management. The study looked at three aspects one to simulate and assess the climate model projections to understand the changes in climatic parameters in future in comparison to baseline. Second, how these changing climatic factors would affect and translate into hydrological impacts and third explores the policy, politics, and governance aspects and presents an accurate overview of the history of flood management in India. The study shows that there is a possibility for more progress in analysing the geographical and temporal aspects of hydro-meteorological disasters and their resulting effects. It highlights the notion that climate change poses a significant threat to our lives and properties, with the capacity to intensify the magnitude of loss and destruction. The study, therefore contributes to enhancing comprehension of the subject.
