Question

Is delhi a flood prone region?

Answer 1

Statistical compilations relating to flood incidences are available since 1953 only. The maximum length of time between successive high floods was 4 years with an average of every 3 years.

Between 1953 and 1990, the period for which published damages data are available, there were high floods in Delhi in 1956, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1988.

Prior to 1953 there were such floods in 1924 and 1947. Since 1990 the floods of 1995 were high. The highest flood level on record so far was in 1978, through the Yamuna. The 1924 floods, which comprised successive peaks of lesser order, had generated the largest volume of flood flows so far. The 1977 flood was the highest through the Sahibi nadi.
