Abstract
The natural factors for flood are mainly topographic characteristics of the land and meteorological properties of the region. The flooding of Gurugram in year 2016 was unexpected and not triggered by the above factors. Type of flooding occurred there is known as pluvial flooding. It happens, when the capacity of local drainage system gets saturated and the system can no more cater to any further surface runoff. The study aims to develop strategies for implementing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) for mitigating pluvial flooding in Gurugram. For the analysis of potentially vulnerable areas for pluvial flooding, Geographical Information System (GIS) integrated with Multi-parametric Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were employed. At the end of the study, combination of conventional drainage system and SuDS were applied at the critical areas through source control, site control, and regional control measures for mitigating urban flooding in general and pluvial flooding in particular in the case of Gurugram.
