In July 2018, the dams in a particular state had more water storage than usual. Additionally, excessive rainwater from August was also stored in the dams, which was more than needed for power generation purposes. However, the district administration did not adequately inform people living in flood-prone areas about the potential flooding, leading to an information gap. The administration also had no idea of how much area would be inundated if the reservoir shutters were opened, and there was a lack of flood mapping, making it difficult for stakeholders to prepare for potential disasters. Furthermore, evacuation warnings were not given to people living in the affected areas, resulting in increased misery.
