Y it flood in Mumbai ??
by JACOB PAUL on Jul 01, 2008 01:53 PM

I have spent my entire childhood in mumbai. During those times there were a lot of trees and i could see gardens and open spaces. I could see far of building from my terrace. But now there are so many new building constructed and high rise building. There is no way that the water can seep underground. As as result the water from the higher areas just flows to the low lying areas and thus causes flooding. It is we the people who have created this havoc. If we have planned constructions and open spaces this problem would have been minimal as it is made to be alarming now. We have no consideration for the environment. Just cut trees and build new concrete jungles. The heat from all these constructions causes a low pressure leading to heavy rain. Its all we who got to take the blame. Just pointing fingers at others cannot happen. Lets try to solve the problem
