This city action plan has been prepared as per the National Disaster Management Plan 2019, the National Disaster Management Authority Guidelines on the Management of Urban Flooding, 2010, and the standard operating procedures on urban flooding notified by the Ministry of Urban Development (now Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs), 2020. [...] Further, the district is bordered by the Sahyadri mountain ranges to the east, the Arabian Sea to the west, the dense forest section of Gujarat to the north, and shares its southern boundary with the economic hub of Mumbai (Figure 1). [...] 3.2 Status of the drainage system in India With the expansion of cities and the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas, there has been immense pressure on urban infrastructure and living conditions, and the problem of urban drainage systems in India is worsening (Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation [CPHEEO] 2019a). [...] Although the TMC has a wide network of drainage systems, it faces issues in terms of both the construction of a new drainage network and the operation and maintenance of the existing drainage network (Figure 3). [...] The PS-level urban flood risk profiling will help the TMC prioritise the interventions and identify the relevant stakeholders and types of interventions needed for managing floods.
