When the Vishwamitri overflows
On 26 August 2024 Vadodara received nearly 12 inches of rain, and with Ajwa still releasing water the Vishwamitri ran at about 35 ft against a danger mark of 26 ft. Sayajigunj, Karelibaug, Fatehgunj and Harni were among the areas under water, and the river has flooded the city more than eight times since 1994.
How we fix it
Submersible dewatering pumps on float control, sized for your basement or compound, start on rising water and keep going while the river stays high. Mount the panel above the flood line so the controls survive the water.
