FAQ — FloodWatch Gurgaon | Flood Risk, MRS Scores & Monsoon Preparedness

FloodWatch is a free real-time tool that helps Gurgaon residents understand flood risk in their area. It provides:

Advisory based on rain forecast and historical information
Monsoon Readiness Scores (MRS) for all 721+ areas
Waterlogging hotspot locations with details
Contact information for ward officials to report issues and escalate
Ability to send an email to the Chief Minister's office for prompt action

The objective of FloodWatch is to be a community tool through which Gurgaon residents can raise their concerns with the authorities and also help others.

Unlike weather apps, FloodWatch focuses specifically on waterlogging and flood risk in Gurgaon/Gurugram. We provide:

Area-specific flood risk scores — not just rainfall forecasts
Nearest hotspots and drainage issues affecting your area
Direct contact details for councillors and engineers responsible for fixing waterlogging
Historical data on which areas flood during monsoon

FloodWatch was created by volunteers who are residents of Gurgaon and are concerned about Gurgaon's monsoon preparedness. We curated official data on hotspots, ward contacts, and flood risk factors to empower residents with actionable information during monsoon season.

MRS is FloodWatch's Monsoon Readiness Score, ranging from 0–100. Higher is better — it measures how well-equipped an area is for monsoon flooding, based on elevation, hotspot density, and drainage infrastructure.

52 and above — Low Risk
Good drainage, minimal historical waterlogging, relatively higher elevation.

47–51 — Moderate Risk
Some flood-prone spots, manageable drainage.

43–46 — High Risk
Frequent waterlogging, poor drainage in parts.

38–42 — Very High Risk
Severe waterlogging expected, poor drainage, low-lying terrain.

Below 38 — Extreme Risk
Critical drainage failure, historically severe flooding, immediate action needed.

MRS combines multiple factors:

Relative elevation — lower areas flood more easily
Historical waterlogging incidents — data from MCG records
Drainage infrastructure — presence of storm water drains
Hotspot density — number of known flooding locations nearby

Top 10 most vulnerable areas (as of June 2026). Lower MRS = higher flood risk.

1. GhasolaMRS 30
2. Bhimgarh Kheri Phase 1MRS 33
3. Laxman Vihar Phase 1MRS 34
4. Surat Nagar Phase 1MRS 35
5. Nai AabadiMRS 35
6. Sector 21 Surya ViharMRS 36
7. Sector 28MRS 36
8. Baldev NagarMRS 36
9. Vijay ParkMRS 36
10. Auto MarketMRS 36

These colonies sit in low-lying natural basins where water collects from surrounding areas. Most have 3–5 government-identified waterlogging hotspots within 500m, and peak water accumulation models show 30–80cm of standing water during heavy rain events. Several — Bhimgarh Kheri, Laxman Vihar, Surat Nagar — are clustered in the old Gurgaon drainage basin near Palam Vihar where rapid urbanisation has blocked natural drainage channels. Sector 28 has the highest modelled peak pool depth in FloodWatch at 81cm.

Top 10 best-equipped areas (as of June 2026). Higher MRS = lower flood risk.

1. Chippy Colony Sector 21MRS 85
2. Bhudka VillageMRS 81
3. Ghausgarh VillageMRS 81
4. Shiv ColonyMRS 80
5. Behrampur VillageMRS 79
6. Idgah ColonyMRS 75
7. Rampur VillageMRS 72
8. Jori VillageMRS 70
9. DLF Corporate ParkMRS 66
10. Saini KheraMRS 66

These areas have very low historical water accumulation — peak pool depths of only 4–6cm versus 30–80cm in the most vulnerable areas. Zero government-identified flood hotspots exist within their boundaries. The villages in southern Gurugram (Bhudka, Ghausgarh, Rampur, Jori) benefit from lower urban density and intact natural drainage. DLF Corporate Park scores well due to planned infrastructure with dedicated storm water management. Note: MRS is a relative score — even Low Risk areas should take standard monsoon precautions.

FloodWatch covers 721+ areas in Gurgaon including:

All 36 MCG wards
300+ sectors and sub-sectors
200+ residential colonies
150+ villages within Gurgaon limits

Search your area name or use GPS location to check if it's covered.

A low MRS doesn't mean your area floods every year, but it's prone to waterlogging during heavy monsoon. Factors include low elevation, poor drainage infrastructure, historical incidents, and urban development blocking natural drainage.

Not all monsoons bring flooding to high-risk areas — it depends on rainfall intensity. However, given Gurgaon's poor drainage compounded with bad road conditions, waterlogging even after a light rain is commonplace.

GPS Location (Fastest): Click the dot button next to the search box and allow location permission. FloodWatch instantly shows your area's flood risk, nearest hotspots, and ward contacts.

Hotspots are locations in Gurgaon that consistently flood or experience severe waterlogging during monsoon, sourced from official government records and media reports. FloodWatch shows hotspots within a 2km radius on a radar, and you can tap any hotspot for its name, location, and the responsible councillor or JE contact.

Alert CM Office: Prepares a formal complaint email addressed to the CM's office and your ward councillor, pre-filled with your location and ward details. Takes 30 seconds — you copy and send it from your own email.

Report Waterlogging: Saves the coordinates of your complaint. We consolidate multiple reports and send them to MCG/GMDA for action.

Scroll to the Who to Contact section after searching your area. FloodWatch shows your Councillor, Executive Engineer (EE), Assistant Engineer (AE), Junior Engineer (JE), and Sanitation Inspector — each with a tap-to-call phone number and tap-to-email address.

Monsoon typically runs June–September in Gurgaon. FloodWatch shows a monsoon countdown so you can plan your preparation in advance.

Remember: even low-risk areas can get waterlogged if drains aren't clean.

Low Risk (MRS 52+): Clean gutters and drains, check window seals, stock emergency supplies.

Moderate Risk (MRS 43–51): Elevate valuable items, install drain plugs in basement/lower areas, know your nearby hotspots via FloodWatch.

High Risk (MRS 38–42): Waterproof basement walls and doors, have pump ready, prepare evacuation plan, keep documents in waterproof bag.

Critical Risk (MRS below 38): Consider temporary relocation during peak monsoon, prepare family evacuation plan, keep emergency cash and documents ready, monitor weather daily.

Individual actions:

Don't dump garbage in storm drains
Report drain blockages using FloodWatch

Waterlogging: Water collects in low-lying areas due to poor drainage or heavy rain. Usually recedes within hours to days. Manageable with planning.

Flooding: River or water body overflows, causing large-scale inundation. Affects wide areas and lasts days. Requires evacuation planning.

FloodWatch focuses on waterlogging prevention and preparedness.
