The adoption of smart drainage systems can significantly reduce the risks associated with urban flooding, such as property damage, traffic disruptions, and public safety hazards. By providing early warnings and enabling proactive maintenance, these systems help cities manage waterlogging and prevent severe flooding. However, the effectiveness of these systems depends on the adequacy of existing drainage infrastructure and the ability of municipal teams to act on real-time data. Without proper maintenance and investment in physical infrastructure, the benefits of smart systems may be limited.
