Flood warning system for Mumbai known as “IFLOWS-Mumbai” was launched on June 12, 2020.
Developed By: It has been developed by Ministry of Earth Sciences in collaboration with Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai.
Need: Mumbai has been experiencing floods with increased periodicity. A recent flood of 29th August 2017, brought the city to a standstill. The flood of 26th July 2005 was another extreme event when the city received a rainfall of 94cm, paralyzing the city completely. Hence there was need of an early warning system for flooding, especially during high rainfall events and cyclones to enhance the resilience of Mumbai.
