Flooding Solutions in Kolkata

At Ground Water Company, we specialize in comprehensive Flooding Solutions in Kolkata, tackling the city’s persistent waterlogging, poor drainage, and monsoon-related urban flooding. With increasing climate change impact, rapid urbanization, and outdated drainage infrastructure, Kolkata faces severe flooding risks, especially during the monsoon season. Our advanced flood mitigation strategies, including stormwater management, drainage optimization, and groundwater recharge, help protect industries, residential areas, and municipal bodies from flood damage.

Flooding Challenges in Kolkata

Kolkata experiences widespread flooding and water stagnation, particularly in low-lying areas. Some key challenges include:

• Severe Waterlogging in Low-Lying Areas – Locations like Salt Lake, Behala, New Alipore, and Rajarhat face prolonged water stagnation due to poor drainage.

• Outdated & Clogged Drainage Systems – The old underground drainage network in North and Central Kolkata struggles to handle heavy rainfall, leading to urban flooding.

• High Groundwater Table & Seepage Issues – In regions like Tollygunge, Jadavpur, and Garden Reach, excessive groundwater levels contribute to structural damage and road collapses.

• River & Tidal Flooding from Hooghly River – Areas near Howrah, Kidderpore, and Kalighat experience overflow from the Hooghly River, leading to additional flood risks.

• Climate Change & Unpredictable Rainfall Patterns – Increasing heavy rainfall events and rising sea levels have worsened the flood situation, particularly in South Kolkata and Sundarbans.
