Hyderabad’s urban expansion linked to sharp rise in extreme rainfall, says study

Hyderabad's rapid urban expansion has led to significantly higher rainfall in built-up areas compared to rural surroundings, a phenomenon linked to unchecked growth. This shift results in intense rainfall bursts, exacerbating urban flooding and water scarcity concerns. Researchers recommend restoring natural water absorption methods and updating infrastructure to address these climate impacts.
