The 2000 Hyderabad floods were a series of floods that caused extensive damage and loss of life as a result of flash flooding in Hyderabad, India in 2000.

Aftermath[edit]

In cooperation with Geological Survey of India (GSI) the then Andhra Pradesh state government formed Kirloskar committee. According to the committee findings; a 390 km of drain area was illegally occupied by 13,500 structures due to which urban flooding occurs.[1][2][3][4]
