Abstract This study investigates the impact of rapid industrial development and changing weather patterns on flood occurrences in Uttarakhand, Mumbai, and Chennai. Over the past decade, these regions have faced significant challenges due to increased urbanization and climate variability, which have exacerbated their vulnerability to flooding. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines qualitative interviews with local residents and officials and quantitative analysis of rainfall and flood data from 2010 to 2023. The findings reveal a strong correlation between industrial growth, inadequate drainage infrastructure, and the frequency of flood incidents. Specifically, regions with rapid industrial expansion have experienced intensified flooding, leading to substantial socio-economic losses. The study emphasizes the urgent need for integrated flood management strategies that incorporate sustainable urban planning and community engagement to mitigate the impacts of climate change and industrial development on flood-prone areas.
