Flooding is one of the most common and severe disasters that afflicts several Indian states every year, and it is frequently followed by the spread of epidemics. The cities along the banks of river or seashore face great pressure in dealing with flood disaster management and such experience will mount up in the coming decades due to the rising intensity and frequency of natural hazards triggered by climate change. Therefore, there is a need to develop an environment-friendly pragmatic approach for making such vulnerable cities into a flood resilient city. In recent decades, flood risk reduction and management strategies are seen to be supplementing the traditional technical and engineering methods with nature-based solutions (NBS). NBS brings in multiple benefits to people and the social system by contributing towards improvement in quality of life, strengthening, and promoting ecological balance. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the integration of NBS into current Flood Risk Mitigation and Management (FRM) strategies. This framework is intended as a tool to be adopted by decision-makers to operationalize the NBS integrated pragmatic approach and work towards developing flood-resilient cities.
