The heavy rains in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have led to the apprehension of floods as the levels of water have risen in Ganga and Yamuna Rivers in some parts of both the states.

In Uttarakhand, the continued rain in the upper parts of the state has caused the flow in the rivers and streams to rise. The hilly nature of the area has further raised fears of waterlogging, landslides, and disruption of road connection. There is monitoring of the situation and people have been advised to be cautious while experiencing heavy rain.

The effect of rains has been experienced in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh as well where the rising levels of water in Ganga and Yamuna Rivers have put the areas that are located near the banks of the rivers at the risk of floods.

It is alarming due to the fact that the rains in Uttarakhand may affect the water discharge downstream in Uttar Pradesh. It means that the districts that are located in the river systems should keep an eye on the rising water level in order not to cross the critical point.

Local authorities were recommended to be ready for anything, monitor embankments, and keep emergency crews ready to action. People who live close to the rivers should avoid flooded places.

Weather conditions will play a significant role in this matter in the forthcoming days. Should the rain continue to fall in the upper catchment area, river levels may continue to grow and flood the districts.

Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the river levels and weather.
