Scientific studies consistently confirm that ecohydrologic processes, primarily those associated with rapid urbanization, significantly modify and intensify rainfall patterns over cities. These modifications are driven by complex land-atmosphere interactions, leading to a heightened risk of urban flooding. Research indicates that urban land use changes, such as the conversion of natural vegetation to impervious surfaces, enhance convective activity and consequently increase mean and heavy rainfall during events like the Indian summer monsoon. For instance, simulations have shown that urban land use can increase monthly mean rainfall by over 14% and heavy precipitation by 15% in regions like Kolkata. The primary mechanisms behind this intensification include the urban heat island effect, which destabilizes the boundary layer and induces thermally driven circulations, and altered surface roughness due to buildings, which modifies airflow patterns. These factors collectively contribute to more intense and often spatially concentrated rainfall events over urban cores and their peripheries. Studies utilizing weather radar observations across various cities in Europe and the United States reveal that larger cities tend to exhibit more significant rainfall enhancements, with some showing an intensification of 5.2%–11%. For India, where rapid urbanization coincides with a monsoon climate, these findings are particularly critical. Cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad routinely face severe waterlogging and flash floods, with studies projecting an increase in short-duration, high-intensity rainfall extremes. Experts note that urban areas in India are warming at nearly twice the national rate, with urbanization directly contributing to intensified city heat, which in turn makes monsoon rainfall more extreme. The implications are severe for infrastructure, agriculture, and water resource management, necessitating updated urban storm water designs and proactive policy measures to mitigate future flood risks in growing cities.
