The damage caused by the Godavari floods..!?

-Telugu people shaking with floods.
- Millions of homeless poor.
- What is the result of destroying nature?

If nature opens its third eye, the people themselves will be washed away. As such, we continue to spoil nature every day, every moment. In the end, we bring that threat upon ourselves. Godavari flood water is also increasing every year due to this effect of nature. As a result, lakhs of people and lakhs of acres of crops and livestock are destroyed by the flood. Crores of rupees are being lost. However, there is no change in humans. Let's see the details of the damage caused by the Godavari floods.
 Governments have changed, leaders have changed, but the conditions of the people of the Godavari basin have not changed. If the Godavari floods, you have to live with your life in your hands. The people who have already been affected by floods many times are once again living in the shadow of fear. Thousands of villages have already been submerged due to the Godavari flood. Water entered the houses and boats were used to get out. And the condition of the people of Lankan villages is worse. Passarlapudi, Appanapally, Teki Shetty Palem, and rajolu Devi are completely submerged in water and people are in trouble at least for food. How many governments have changed in this way but the flood problems are not being solved? Since 1964, whenever there are floods, the people of these villages have to live in distress. Godavari's angry appearance is enough to make their hearts tremble. The Godavari originates in Tryambakeshwar in maharashtra and joins the Bay of bengal at Antharvedi.

In total 1465 km long course Maneru, Indrawati Manjira Pranahita, Sabari, Kinnerasani, Seeleru, major tributaries and tributaries join the flow making it one of the largest river basins in the country. Godavari flood impact is more especially compared to krishna river. In particular, 21,051 people had to evacuate their homes due to the floods in east Godavari, Konaseema, Alluri, Eluru, and west godavari in AP, out of which thousands were shifted to relief centers. Many lakhs of acres of crops were lost in this process. Especially Anakapalli, Srikakulam, Alluri, Konaseema, Kakinada, east Godavari, west godavari, NTR, Krishna, and Eluru, districts are mostly affected by Godavari floods. The floods of Godavari mean that the people of two telugu states have to live in distress. How many times have Godavari floods, people are suffering but there is no change in the governance of the government. It can be said that governments are not looking for alternative ways to save people from Godavari floods.

 If the water inundates the houses due to these floods, after the floods recede, it will be another step to remove the mud that has reached the houses and crop fields. Along with cooking loss, mud loss is the most troublesome.

 Preventive Measures:
India has a two-tiered system of flood management at the state central level. In this, the Central Water Commission established in 1945 looks after the responsibilities of flood control dams, river conservation, development of water resources across the country, and international public relations. 5,334 big dams as per Central Water Commission 2022. 80% of these dams are 25 years old. 227 dams in the big dam were built a hundred years ago. In the past hundred years, 41 dams have failed due to floods. And in 2021, Andhra Pradesh's Annamaiya Dam failure caused tremendous damage. In order to prevent such floods, the respective states should strengthen the management of dams. Dam safety protocols should be followed. Efforts should be made to reduce flooding in sea and river coastal areas by focusing first and clearing the problem. Modernization of embankments of old dams and improvement of the capacity of reservoirs can reduce the impact of floods.
