Monsoon Flood Delays

The book argues for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to infrastructure planning and disaster management, essential for mitigating increasing disruptions. It begins by assessing the global problem, then examines climate science factors like atmospheric circulation. Case studies from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa highlight flooding impacts on roads, railways, and airports. Finally, the book analyzes socio-economic consequences on trade and emergency response. The study uses high-resolution precipitation data and detailed maps of infrastructure and flood risk zones, providing insights for policymakers and transportation engineers.
