Abstract

A well marked low resulting in active to vigorous monsoon conditions in Rajasthan during 15 to 17 July 1979 resulted in devastating flood in Luni Basin, western Rajasthan. Favourable antecedent moisture condition, geomorphological characteristics of this basin and breaches in the earthen dams worsened the flood situation.
