Adilabad Drought Drought poses to be one of the
major hazards that the district faces.
Bazarhatnoor and neighbouring
Neredigonda are the worst case
scenarios in terms of water scarcity
in the district with ground water
plunging beyond 36 metres in April
2016. The average depth at which
ground water level was seen during
the summer of 2016 at
Bazarhatnoor and Neredigonda was
36.65 metres and 39.5 metres
respectively

Flooding Many of the villages in the revenue
mandals of Tamsi, Jainad, Bela and
Sirpur (T) are cut off due to
flooding. Flooding from Penganga
cuts off important road links. The
river, which joins the Pranahita in
the Northeastern border of

standing crops in the revenue
mandals of Koutala, Bejjur,
Bheemini, Vemanpally and
Kotapally and cuts off several
villages

DISTRICT-WISE HAZARD PROFILES-HYDERABAD
District Hazard Hazard Profile DRR Measures
Hyderabad Urban
flooding
One of the major hazards that the
district faces is urban flooding.
Hyderabad was home to more than
500 lakes. Most of the lakes have
been converted into residential /
commercial complexes. Haphazard
/unplanned construction activity
has led to the already poorly
functioning storm water drains.
During heavy rains, many areas are
water-logged as there is no outlet to
the heavy downpour of rain. Lakes,
which used as act as sponges for
excess water are no longer existent.
Masab Tank, a water body located
at the southern foothills of Banjara
Hills was converted into land for
residential and commercial
purposes. But that is only one the
many lakes that have disappeared
over the years. As a result, the
natural flow of the streams is
blocked and as a result, we have
waterlogging and flooding even at
the slightest instance of rain.
Structural:
Robust storm water drainage
system
Control rooms to monitor
flooding
Planned infrastructure
development.
Automatic rain gauges
Mobile para-medical teams
Airports to be made flood-proof
by providing efficient drainage
for a much higher rainfall
intensity.
All future road and rail bridges in
cities crossing drains to be
designed such that they do not
block the flows resulting in
backwater effect.
All road re-levelling works or
strengthening/ overlay works to
be carried out by milling the
existing layers of the road so that
the road levels will not be allowed
to increase.
Ensure protection of Water
Bodies and its restoration/ revival
Remove encroachments
Non-structural
HRV analysis to map the water
bodies and the course of flood
water
Promote city-level information
systems for management of urban
flooding
Awareness generation regarding
preparedness for floods

Management Information System.
Ward Level Information System
to be developed using high
resolution satellite images / aerial
photos integrated with
socioeconomic data covering
natural resources and
infrastructure facilities on
appropriate scale at community
level.
Trainings for urban flood rescue
and management. Upgrade
equipment and skills
Adequate budget to be provided
to take care of the men, material,
equipment and machinery for O&
Mof drainage systems on a
periodic basis
To ensure strict compliance of
Techno-Legal Regime through
ULBs
Nodal Department to constitute
Urban Flooding Cell at State level
and a DM Cell to be constituted at
the ULB level for managing urban
flooding at local level
State Governments will encourage
their school boards to develop
similar content in their school
curriculum
Dovetailing into projects such as
AMRUT

Unprecedented heavy rain between
29th September and 1st October,
009 occurred in Northern
Karnataka and Mahabubnagar and
Kurnool districts of Andhra
Pradesh resulted in release of lakhs
of cusecs of water in to the dams of
