Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricate relationship between urbanization and rainfall trends in the Amaravati River Basin, offering a detailed analysis of environmental changes over the past decades. The study highlights the significant impact of urban expansion on land use, surface temperatures, and vegetation density, revealing a 2.1% increase in built-up areas and a corresponding rise in land surface temperatures from 35–37°C to 38–41°C. The analysis also underscores the influence of urban heat islands on local climate conditions, with notable shifts in rainfall patterns observed in regions like Coimbatore and Erode. The chapter concludes with a call for sustainable urban planning and water resource management to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on the river basin's environmental and water resources.
