In this case study, We would look at Nanjangud, a small town in the banks of #Kabini river in #Karnataka
Like #MahalaxmiExpress case, Kabini takes a sharp bend n a highway is present in flood plains
Map shows Kabini river's path near Nanjangud (flood sim. was done for this)

In August this year, Kabini flooded. This satellite image shows the area that was flooded. Black indicates water
Most of the flooded areas were farms
But two sections of the flooded areas have highways n builtup area in them (marked in red)
