                 Gujarat and Maharashtra has many river water dams and reservoirs but these states were flooded extensively in 2006. What was the reason?    

    Answer:

                      Reservoirs obstructs the river sediments to free flow and these subside on the floor of the reservoir and raise the water level consequently. When heavy rainfall occures the dams aggravate the flood situation by opening water gates to avoid breaching the embankment. Such situation happened in Gujarat and Maharashtra in 2006.
