Thread - India's flood plain issue:

There r so many flood incidents this year. One big problem s that we haven't mapped flood plains yet. Many crucial infra (road, railway) are built in flood plains with less care

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)
