dillekant@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Cloudbursts are causing chaos in parts of India and Pakistan. Here's what they are | Climate change is fueling their frequency5·16 days agoSpeaking colloquially, I’m not an expert, just trying to impart intuition.
India has monsoons, and unfortunately the city design is pretty awful for controlling water. There’s far too much concrete / not enough green space, and then insufficient drainage to handle even regular monsoons. In other countries, building out like this is simply illegal. For example, they will do flood modelling for both a new area for property, and each property needs to get approval for floods – both green space and drainage. Nothing like it in India, especially the older areas (informal settlements) which are simply not built for this.
What sucks the most is that India also needs the water. They have underwater reservoirs which cannot fill up because the water stays on the surface, wipes away property and lives, and then goes elsewhere, leaving the water tables barely refreshed. The faster the water comes down in cloudbursts, the worse it is. They really could focus on how to control that water and save lives as well as have better, safer water storage.
