Скачать или смотреть Sea Walls or False Security? Why India’s Coastal Cities Are Still Flooding

Sea walls are often shown as the ultimate solution to protect coastal cities from floods and rising seas. But across India, cities with sea walls are still flooding — sometimes worse than before.

From Mumbai to Chennai, Kochi to Visakhapatnam, hard concrete barriers are being built while natural coastal systems like mangroves, wetlands, dunes, and tidal channels are being destroyed.

In this video, we explain:

What sea walls are designed to do — and what they cannot do
Why coastal flooding continues even after sea walls are built
How sea walls block natural drainage and trap rainwater
The role of mangroves, wetlands, and tidal flows in flood protection
Real examples from Indian coastal cities

Smarter and safer alternatives to hard coastal infrastructure

Flooding in coastal cities is not just about the sea coming in. It is also about rainwater having nowhere to go. When cities harden their coastlines and block natural outlets, water collects inside homes and streets.

Sea walls can provide limited protection, but they are not a permanent solution. True coastal safety comes from working with nature, not fighting it.
