Short summary
River basins in India are often affected by flooding during the summer monsoon, putting millions of people and livelihoods at risk. Understanding the processes that cause floods is critical to minimizing flood risk. Our investigations show how rainfall (short and long-duration), surface water flow, and the specific location of the drainage area contribute to flood events in the Godavari River basin using observations and hydrological model data.
