Rapid urbanization coupled with severe climate vulnerability has exponentially increased the frequency of extreme flooding events within Maharashtra, India. This paper evaluates the structural and non-structural interventions proposed under the Maharashtra Resilience Development Project (MRDP), a US$ 400 million joint initiative funded by the World Bank and the Government of Maharashtra. Focusing on the critical urban centers of Kolhapur and Sangli-Miraj-Kupwad (SMKMC) in the Upper Krishna Basin, this study examines advanced hydraulic re-validation methods, infrastructure modifications designed to prevent involuntary resettlement, and the regional concept of inter-basin water channeling to mitigate flood-and-drought dualities.
