Flood

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. The decreasing number of a rainy day (>2.5mm) and the increasing number of a heavy rainy day (>62.5 mm), very heavy rainy days (>125 mm per day), and consecutive cumulative rainfall events increase the chance of flooding. Heavy rainfall during monsoon in the catchment area inside the state and the upper catchment of neighbouring states also contributes to flooding downstream.
