        abstract = {Urban flooding is a recurring and critical issue in Mumbai, especially in low-lying and densely populated areas like Dadar East. This study investigates the extent, causes, and mitigation strategies for flood water logging in the region. A comprehensive methodology was adopted, including topographical and hydrological analyses, drainage capacity assessment, and field surveys. The analysis revealed that during peak monsoon (June to September), stormwater runoff in Dadar East exceeds drainage capacity by approximately 142,488 m³/hr, resulting in a net surplus of over 402 billion liters of untreated floodwater. To address this, a community-based solution is proposed involving the redirection of surplus floodwater to a temporary water treatment plant (WTP) established at Dr. N.A. Purandare Stadium. The modular plant, with a capacity of 1000 MLD, aims to treat and reuse a portion of floodwater to fulfill industrial demand in the Parel-Dadar region. This decentralized, scalable strategy not only mitigates flood risk but also promotes sustainable water resource utilization. The proposed solution demonstrates the feasibility and necessity of integrating engineered infrastructure with localized community planning to enhance urban flood resilience.},
