hazards •Topography: Inland city
Flood vulnerability
• Floods have played a critical role in shaping
Flood Vulnerability Assessment Map
Pune’s character to a great extent
• The ongoing urbanization will result in more

run- off
• The city is also surrounded by dams and

overflowing of these dams is the main cause
of flooding in Pune
• Low lying areas are the major affects of floods.

The probability of floods is moderate and
intensity is low to moderate.
• Pune has always been known for its good

climate, but in the last few years the city
has been receiving heavy rainfall which has
given rise to yearly floods in Pune.
Flood vulnerability
• There was a net increase of around 5.33% in
the built up area Location of slums and flood zones in Pune
• In most of the construction about 40 to 50 % in

some wards are weak structures and houses
are old types, located in slums
• Around 40% of the population lives in slums
• These slums lack basic services
• The coverage of drains to roads is only 52

percent in the city
• Adequacy of the cities treatment capacity of

waste water is just 71% which indicates that
29% of wastewater is still untreated and
disposed into various streams in the city.
Causes Effects
i. Reduction in carrying capacity i.Displacement of Families in the river

banks and destruction of private property
of the river
ii.Destruction of Biodiversity on the river
ii. Encroachment in river and banks
tributaries (nullahs) draining
into the rivers iii.Disruption of Transport and
communication systems
iii. Disposal of debris and solid
wastes including plastics iv.Destruction of drainage and sewage
system
iv. Lack of remote rain gauging
and telemetric early warning v.Eroding of river banks
system
vi.Adverse effect on Public Health
Disaster management
• The Government of Maharashtra (GoM) has Increase in River carrying capacity
established a mechanism for disaster preparedness
and mitigation by integrating science and technology •Dredging of 1.50 MCM of silt
with communication network facilitates.
• •Excavated Debris is reused for construction of
A State Disaster Management Action Plan to support
and strengthen the efforts of the district roads
administration.
Protection
• At the apex of the responsibility structure for
response plan PMC/PCMC was given charge •Construction of 1.50 km of protection wall to
managing the head of technical team for fire, city protect 10 major flood prone areas
engineers and police control room/ officers.
River flow (reduced afflux)
• The management plan for disaster is fully
functioning and is one of the best initiatives take •Removal of an old Stone masonry bund
by the municipal government at ward level
•Removal of central section (100m long and 5 m
• DPR is prepared for Water supply considering the
high) of Bundgarden bund
prepared covering augmentation
Organisational structure

Future action plan
• Installation of Remote Rain • Mapping and Delineation of the flood-
Gauging, level gauging and prone area by use a probability-based
telemetry system for early analysis wherein systematic records
warning to control peak discharge and historical information on past
from Khadakwasla to within flooding are used to develop a relation
50,000 Cusecs during the rainy of probability of occurrence versus
season magnitude.
• Prevent encroachment of the river

and streams by declaration of
Biodiversity Restoration Zones
along the banks
• Use of Gabions/Reno Mattresses

on river banks for stabilisation
and allow percolation of water
