| dc.description | Urban Flooding is brought about by heavy rain falling on built-up surfaces with limited drain capacity. Therefore, the definition of an urban flood can be summed up as "excessive runoff in developed urban areas, where the stormwater has nowhere to go due to low drainage system capacity, creating inundations." | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Urban flooding is a worldwide phenomenon which is witnessed more often in a growing urban city in developing countries. The insufficiency of drainage system that cannot withstand with the current precipitation due to climate change, urbanization haphazard planning causes stormwater runoff in a city area creating inundation that lasts from few hours to even few days known as Urban Flooding. These urban floods paralyze the surface transportation of a city. Especially the daily commuters bear heavy economic and financial losses. This paper aims to assess the accessibility disruption faced by daily commuters who travel via Araniko road, Pulbazar section road and identify major cause of the flood in the study area. The research also tries to explore adaptive & mitigative measures that should both be incorporated simultaneously to cope with the annual flooding scenario in the study area. | en_US |
