Godavari crosses 43 foot mark at Bhadrachalam, flood alert
India
The Godavari River just crossed the 43-foot flood warning mark at Bhadrachalam, thanks to heavy inflows from upstream.
Local authorities aren't taking chances: they've set up a round-the-clock control room in Kothagudem and put out the first official flood alert.
Low lying and riverside residents warned
People living in low-lying and riverside areas should be on alert for rising water, especially since more is being released from upstream projects.

Also, the Sripada Yellampalli Project reservoir is nearly full (just half a meter below its maximum) with big volumes of water being released to manage the situation.
