Telangana and Andhra Pradesh battle flood fury

Context

Massive floods, due to relentless rain disrupted life in Andhra and Telangana, following a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal.

What factors are responsible?

The torrential rains were fueled by a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal.
The situation had intensified, with Vijayawada caught between the surging Krishna river on one side and the overflowing Budameru rivulet, known as the 'Sorrow of Vijayawada', on the other.
- The Budameru rivulet, which originates in Khammam district, saw a significant rise in floodwaters.

River of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh

Telangana is drained by two major rivers namely, Godavari (in the north) and Krishna (in the south) and their tributaries before entering in to the state of Andhra Pradesh (riverine state) and finally to Bay of Bengal. Telangana is separated from Andhra Pradesh by the Krishna River, which acts as a geographical divider between the two.
- Other rivers such as Bhima, Manair, Penganga, Akeru, Dindi, Manjeera, Paleru, and Pedda Vagu also irrigate the state.
Andhra Pradesh like many other states of India is a riverine state with two major rivers – the Godavari and the Krishna – and, three medium size rivers – Penner, Nagavali, Vamsadhara – along with many other minor streams, flowing through it, and it is the ‘rice bowl’ of India.
Krishna River is the third-longest river of the country, originating in the Satara District of Maharashtra in the Western Ghats. This rivers flows across the state of Karnataka before reaching Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
- Bhima is one of the prominent tributaries of Krishna River in Telangana.
River Godavari is the second-longest river of the country. This river originates in the Nashik district of Maharashtra and runs across the Deccan Plateau, before crossing Telangana and entering the Bay of Bengal.
- Manjeera is one of its major tributaries.
