Dhanbad sits in the Chota Nagpur plateau region of Jharkhand, an area of coal mining and hilly terrain that receives a moderate southwest monsoon between June and September. The plateau’s elevation and drainage patterns generally reduce urban flooding risk compared to river-plain cities, though old mining areas can experience localized waterlogging during unusually heavy spells.
