Urban flooding in Hyderabad

'Urban Flooding' has been getting much attention off late, and it will be an issue for many countries including India posing a wide variety of challenges for a variety of reasons. We, at the IIT Hyderabad, are working to address the issue. As part of our systematic approach, we came up with SnapFlood and Sixer Tweet. We are trying to address the global issues with local efforts, and if you want to be part of it reach us.
