This chapter describes how climate extremes as represented by sudden and heavy spurts of rainfall create conditions for peri-urban flooding in an urbanising village called Rawta located at the peripheries of Delhi, the National Capital of India. It employs a qualitative research design, using an ethnographic approach. The data has been collected mainly through semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews and direct observation of irrigation activities. The paper uses a theoretical framework that draws on a socio-technical approach to water management and a political ecology framework. A socio-technical lens is used to study the technology and institutions that are used to appropriate wastewater in Rawta, while a political ecology lens is used to study how as a peri-urban village Rawta is at the receiving end of urbanisation, receiving the excess storm water and wastewater from the National Capital Region. Located at the banks of Najafgarh drain, a storm water and wastewater drain of the National Capital Region of India, the residents of the village use the wastewater from the drain for purposes of irrigation. In times of sudden and extreme rainfall, however, the drain overflows and floods into the fields of the Rawta village. This causes harm to the agricultural crops. About 200 acres of the village’s agricultural land has become permanently inundated for the last 20 years, and has been rendered unfit for cultivation. The chapter describes the differential vulnerability of the residents of the village to peri-urban flooding; their vulnerability being shaped by the location of the fields as well as the tenurial and land ownership status. It further documents their adaptive responses. The paper describes how the peri-urban character of the village makes it prone to the effects of flooding. The chapter concludes with some identification of possible solutions to the peri-urban flooding of Rawta village.
