Vijayawada sits on the Krishna River in coastal Andhra Pradesh, where the June-to-September southwest monsoon and the Krishna’s own water levels both play a role in local flood risk. The river is regulated by the Prakasam Barrage running through the city, but sustained heavy rain across the wider Krishna basin can still raise water levels enough to affect low-lying riverside areas.
