MUMBAI FLOODS
On Tuesday, Mumbai was soaked to the bone with torrential rainfall all day. As people scurried up the sidewalks, the wind tore umbrellas out of their hands. Busy intersections were deluged, and a building collapsed too, claiming at least 24 lives. Several television news channels reported that the city saw more rain in the past several days than any other time since July 2005, when severe flooding killed more than 1,000 people.
BIHAR FLOODS

The state of Bihar has witnessed floods more than any other state in India. According to a media report, floods swept nearly 19 districts of Bihar, affecting over 1.71 crore people this year. The flood death toll stands at 482 as of August 2017, the same report noted.
Bihar is India's most flood-prone state, with 76 per cent of population in north Bihar living under the recurring threat of flood devastation.
BENGAL FLOODS

According to PTI, heavy rains in July this year hit nearly 25 lakh people in about 170 villages in 11 districts in West Bengal. And over two lakh people were affected due to floods in Odisha. Rayagada and Kalahandi being the worst-hit districts saw innumerable people around them being washed away or their houses completely under the water and bridges collapsing by the heavy water flow.

"The floods of West Bengal have special characteristics. Heavy rainfalls at origin or catchment areas of main flooding rivers of the state cause flood, but these areas are mainly lying outside the state. West Bengal is flooded by water from adjoining states or countries," said the West Bengal Disaster Management Department.
ASSAM FLOODS
In Assam, floods have become a recurrent problem and highly affect cattle, human life and crops. Some of the worst-hit years have been 1954, 1962, 1972, 1977, 1984, 1988, 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2012. This year, however, deluge proved to be one of the worst in 29 years.
