Surat lies on the Tapi River close to the Arabian Sea coast, and the city’s modern history includes a major 2006 flood when upstream dam releases combined with heavy monsoon rain to inundate large parts of the city for days. That event reshaped how seriously both authorities and residents treat river levels during the June-to-September monsoon, and radar-based rainfall tracking upstream in the Tapi basin is now a routine part of local flood-risk assessment.
