Bengaluru: Over concretization led to floods, says IISc study

After heavy rains flooded most parts of Bengaluru, an Indian Institute of Science (IISc) study said "unchecked concretization" coupled with the acute loss of vegetation and wetland is the reason behind the frequent flooding. It says concrete surfaces cover 78% of the city's area, including catchment areas, hindering smooth flow of water resulting in floods and waterlogged roads. Tap in for more Bengaluru news!
