GUJARAT: As part of its comprehensive development strategy, Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) will integrate advanced flood management systems into its urban and industrial infrastructure plans. This move aims to reduce flood risks during the monsoon season, ensuring industries can continue operations safely while protecting residents from potential waterlogging and related challenges.

The planned flood management systems will include stormwater drainage networks, retention ponds, and water channels designed to divert excess rainwater efficiently, reducing the impact of heavy rainfall on roads, industrial plots, and residential areas within Dholera. This infrastructure will be integrated with Dholera’s smart city frameworks, allowing for real-time monitoring of water levels and proactive emergency responses during extreme weather conditions.

This initiative is particularly significant for industries like semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, which require stable and safe operational environments to avoid disruptions. By ensuring a well-managed water drainage system, Dholera is positioning itself as a resilient industrial hub capable of supporting high-tech industries while maintaining environmental sustainability.

The inclusion of flood management systems aligns with Gujarat’s commitment to creating climate-resilient infrastructure under the Make in India mission, enhancing investor confidence and ensuring operational continuity for industries throughout the year. It also contributes to public safety and environmental protection, improving the overall quality of life for those working and residing in Dholera.

By prioritizing these measures, Dholera is preparing to become a model for sustainable and resilient industrial city planning in India, supporting its goal to attract global investors while maintaining operational readiness for semiconductor, electronics, and advanced manufacturing industries.
