Abstract:
This research paper investigates the drainage system and waterlogging issues in the Malwani Church area of Malad West, Mumbai, during the monsoon season. Through a combination of field surveys, face-to-face interactions, and data analysis, the study highlights the severe impact of inadequate drainage infrastructure on residents. The findings reveal frequent waterlogging due to poor maintenance, leading to property damage, health issues, and disruptions to daily life. The study emphasizes the need for improved drainage design, regular maintenance, and proactive measures by local authorities to prevent these recurring issues and enhance community resilience during the monsoon.
