In this episode, we explore the catastrophic impact of floods, taking a closer look at the devastating floods in Kerala, India in 2018, which saw the region receive 457% more rainfall than usual, leading to significant loss of life, injuries and displacement of people. As climate change worsens, these weather patterns are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. The episode delves into different types of floods – from flash floods, urban floods, to coastal floods, stressing the exigent need for effective mitigation strategies.
