Abstract

The frequency of flooding in urban areas has increased drastically over the years. Urban flooding also results in various other negative effects such as deterioration of quality of water, economical losses and loss of life. Similar conditions were noticed in the regions of Vasai-Virar. Tons of rainwater has to be allowed to flow to the bottom of the ground and to avoid calamity. This idea is analogous to the strategies and developments already adopted within the Western world. During this paper, new constraints on the interactions between the sponge facilities, the landscape and therefore the subsoil are identified for a hilly, sub-tropic terrain. Urban storm water runoff generates a volume of water of the identical order of magnitude because the domestic wastewater volume. However, the impact of wastewater use on crop production, crop change, human health and also the environment must be fully considered. Although, Sponge City may be a Chinese concept. This paper constitutes the various challenges and opportunities for the flood mitigation in the Vasai-Virar region. This paper presents the collective overview of research done in this domain which will be useful for those who are willing to do some further research. At the end of the paper some future research areas may also be discussed.
