Rising sea-level could submerge parts of Mumbai in 100 years
Mumbai could lose 25.32 sq km of its area to coastal inundation caused by a 1-metre rise in sea level over the next 100 years, according to a study. Adding that mangroves can play a significant role in protecting the city, the study claimed that the entire coastal belt from Gorai to Mira Bhayander will be the worst affected.
