Flooding has always been one of the biggest urban challenges in Mumbai, and densely populated areas like Dharavi are the most affected during the monsoon season. Narrow lanes, inadequate drainage, and high population density often lead to severe waterlogging, damage to infrastructure, and public health risks. To tackle this, Savik Infra has recently designed and implemented a state-of-the-art flood water management system in Dharavi, ensuring long-term resilience against heavy rains.

Why Flood Water Management in Dharavi Matters Dharavi is home to over 700,000 residents within just 2.5 square kilometers, making it one of the most congested settlements in Asia. Each monsoon, this area faces waterlogging and drainage failures that disrupt daily life and increase health hazards. Traditional systems were unable to cope with the intensity of rainfall Mumbai experiences, making a robust solution the need of the hour.

Savik Infra’s Innovative Flood Water Management Solution Savik Infra’s project in Dharavi focuses on sustainable and advanced engineering practices to control urban flooding and prevent waterlogging during heavy rains. The key features of the system include:
High-Capacity Stormwater Drains – Installation of reinforced concrete drainage chambers designed to handle peak monsoon flow and prevent water backflow into residential zones.
Smart Flood Monitoring – Deployment of IoT-based water level sensors that provide real-time updates, allowing authorities to respond proactively during rainfall.
Rainwater Harvesting Integration – Systems that divert and store excess rainwater, helping reduce surface runoff while replenishing groundwater.
Eco-Friendly Infrastructure – Use of permeable pavements and green infrastructure to naturally absorb rainwater and reduce strain on drainage systems.
Community Collaboration – Training and engaging local residents on proper waste disposal and drain upkeep to ensure the system remains effective.

Impact on Dharavi Since its implementation, Savik Infra’s flood water management system has significantly reduced waterlogging in Dharavi during heavy rains. Streets that previously faced knee-deep flooding are now safer, cleaner, and more accessible. This transformation has improved mobility, reduced health risks, and enhanced the overall quality of life for residents.
Conclusion With climate change and increasing rainfall intensity, sustainable flood control solutions in Mumbai are more important than ever. Savik Infra’s successful project in Dharavi showcases how modern flood management systems can transform vulnerable urban areas into resilient communities. By combining technology, engineering, and community involvement, Savik Infra continues to set benchmarks in urban water management and sustainable infrastructure development.
