As cities grow and expand, more natural landscapes are replaced with concrete, leaving little room for water to be absorbed into the ground. Heavy rains, combined with poor drainage systems and unplanned urbanization, lead to frequent waterlogging and floods in many cities. This not only disrupts daily life but also damages property, harms the economy, and poses serious health risks. Addressing urban flooding requires better infrastructure planning, effective water management systems, and stronger disaster preparedness efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
