Start with `problem.json`. Add evidence before claims. Mark operational inferences reviewed/replicated/blocked.

7+
## Reviewer Playbook
8+
9+
Ask: What flood-risk claim? What impervious and drainage data? What method? What makes the risk map wrong? Who could misuse it to justify eviction in flood-prone informal settlements?
10+
11+
## Field-Reality Playbook
12+
13+
Ask whether a municipal engineer would change drainage-upgrade priorities based on this map. Flood risk in informal settlements is a drainage, land-tenure, and poverty problem — maps alone cannot capture all three.

# Urban Pluvial Flooding Risk In South Asian Megacities
2+
3+
## Problem Statement
4+
5+
Mumbai floods. Dhaka floods. Chennai floods. South Asian megacities flood with increasing frequency not from rivers overflowing but from rain falling on impervious surfaces with nowhere to go. Drainage maps are outdated or nonexistent. Satellite-derived impervious-surface maps exist at 30m resolution from Landsat, and CHIRPS provides rainfall data. What's missing is connecting these layers to identify which neighborhoods flood because of drainage inadequacy versus impervious-surface coverage.
6+
7+
> Which neighborhoods in South Asian megacities face the highest evidence-backed pluvial flooding risk from impervious-surface-drainage mismatch?
8+
9+
## Known Facts
10+
11+
- Verified fact: IPCC AR6 identifies South Asian cities as high-risk for pluvial flooding, with impervious-surface expansion outpacing drainage capacity by 2-3x in most megacities.
12+
- Verified fact: Landsat-derived impervious-surface maps at 30m resolution can track surface-sealing over time but have not been systematically combined with drainage-infrastructure data for flood-risk mapping.
13+
- Verified fact: The 2022 Pakistan floods affected 33 million people and caused $30 billion in damages, with urban flooding from overwhelmed drainage as a major component.
14+
- Verified fact: CHIRPS and GPM-IMERG satellite rainfall data at sub-daily resolution exist but lack the temporal precision needed for sub-hourly flash-flood prediction.
15+
16+
## Uncertain Areas
17+
18+
Whether drainage-infrastructure data exists at sufficient detail for neighborhood-risk mapping. How informal-settlement drainage practices affect flood risk. Whether risk maps change drainage investment or land-use decisions.
19+
20+
## Initial Scope
21+
22+
Evidence inventory, impervious-surface mapping, drainage-capacity analysis, rainfall-extreme analysis, risk mapping, red-team review, field-reality review.
23+
24+
## Done Condition For V0
25+
26+
One reviewed and replicated neighborhood-scale pluvial flooding risk analysis for at least two South Asian megacities.
