A History of Floods in Kashmir

Floods have shaped the geography, history, and memory of Kashmir from antiquity. From legends of submerged cities to modern disasters, the valley’s story is intertwined with the waters of the Jhelum.

Ancient Legends:

2082–2041 B.C.: Earthquake during Sundar Sena’s reign submerged Sandimatnagar, creating Wular Lake.

635 C.E.: Srinagar drowned after Talan Marg dam broke, forming Dal Lake.

Early Medieval Floods:

724–761 C.E.: Laltaditya’s palaces destroyed; he rebuilt at Litapur.

855–882 C.E.: Avantivarman deepened the Jhelum at Khadanyar to curb floods.

917–918 C.E.: Srinagar submerged; famine followed during rule of King Partha

1122 C.E.: Harsha’s reign saw crops washed away.

Sultanate Era

1361 C.E.: Flood destroyed Srinagar; Sultan Shahab-ud-Din founded Laxmi Nagar at Hari Parbat.

1379 C.E.: Sources claim 10,000 houses destroyed (likely confused with 1361).

1573 C.E.: Crops and houses swept away in Ali Khan Chak’s time.

Mughal and Afghan Periods:

1662–1682 C.E.: Floods and storms destroyed houses; an earthquake is also noted.

1730 C.E.: Crops and homes ruined during Nawazish Khan’s time.

1735 C.E.: Thousands of houses lost after eight days of rain.

1746 C.E.: 10,000 houses and all Jhelum bridges swept away.

1770 C.E.: All bridges and many houses destroyed under Amir Khan Jawansher.

1787 C.E.: Dal Gate breach submerged eastern Srinagar; crops lost.

Sikh and Dogra Period:

1836 C.E.: Flood swept bridges at Khanabal, Bijbihara, Pampor, and Amira Kadal.

1841 C.E.: Jhelum overflowed; six bridges destroyed, Khanyar and Rainawari submerged.

1882 C.E.: Sind-Lar flood expanded Anchar Lake threefold.

1892 C.E.: John Bishop Memorial Hospital washed away.

1893 C.E.: “Great Flood” destroyed most of Srinagar; led to new embankments at Munshi Bagh.

Early 20th Century Floods (Dogra Rule):

1900 C.E.: Breaches near Shergarhi.

1902 C.E.: Moderate flood, 2 feet lower than 1900.

1903 C.E.: Another “Great Flood” – 3,000 houses collapsed, 40 miles of roads under water. Led to British-era flood-control projects (spill channel, dredging, Chattabal weir).

1905, 1909, 1912, 1918, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1932, 1948: Repeated floods, 1928 claimed ~75 lives.

Mid-20th Century Floods

1950–1959 C.E: Major floods almost every alternate year.

1950 C.E: 70 miles under water, 12,000 houses collapsed in Jammu.

1957 C.E.: Discharge at Sangam ~1.2 lakh cusecs; 600 villages inundated.

1959: Deadliest in recent memory; 82 killed, huge damages.

Later 20th Century:

1962, 1963, 1964, 1969, 1972: Continued floods.

1973: 70 dead, Harwan Buddhist site buried.

1976: Flood recorded.

1986: Flood recorded.

1988: 14,700 hectares inundated, 300 villages destroyed.

1992: 210 dead.

1995: Flood recorded.

1996: Amarnath Yatra hit; ~160 dead.

21st Century Floods:

2010: Flash floods struck.

2014 A.D.: Merging of monsoon and western disturbance caused catastrophic flooding; Srinagar submerged on 7 September.

Lessons from History

From submerged ancient cities to modern urban inundations, the story of floods is constant: blocked river channels, siltation, and neglected flood-control measures magnify natural calamities.

Floods have hit parts of Jammu and Kashmir. Even if not large scale - but water and sanitation risks remain. Read & share.

● Problems

▪︎ Drinking water (wells, handpumps, taps) may be contaminated.
▪︎ Sewage and runoff can mix with supply or shallow wells.
▪︎ Standing water quickly becomes mosquito breeding ground.
▪︎ Food, stores and shops exposed to floodwater can spoil.
▪︎ Wounds or cuts in floodwater risk infection or leptospirosis.
▪︎ Damp homes encourage mould and respiratory issues.
▪︎ Blocked drains and debris slow drainage and prolong standing water.
▪︎ Dead animals and rubbish attract pests and spread pathogens.

● Practical advice for people

▪︎ Don’t drink untreated water. Boil for 1 minute or use trusted purification tablets/filters.
▪︎ If unsure, use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth.
▪︎ Throw away food that touched floodwater or was wet for long.
▪︎ Wash hands often with soap, especially before cooking/eating.
▪︎ Avoid wading in floodwater with bare feet or open cuts; clean and cover any wounds.
▪︎ Dry and ventilate damp rooms; remove wet mattresses/soft items if possible.
▪︎ Wear gloves and a mask when cleaning debris; disinfect surfaces afterwards.
▪︎ Use mosquito nets/repellent and remove small pools around the house.
▪︎ Check tetanus vaccination status; seek care for deep cuts or signs of infection.
▪︎ Seek medical help for high fever, bloody diarrhoea, jaundice, or severe dehydration.

● Things useful for authorities / community response (suggestions)

▪︎ Test and confirm drinking-water safety quickly; inform the public clearly.
▪︎ Provide chlorinated or safe water points where needed.
▪︎ Flush and repair piped supply; inspect and protect wells.
▪︎ Clear drains, remove debris and coordinate waste/carcass removal.
▪︎ Run rapid surveillance for diarrhoea, leptospirosis and jaundice; set up basic treatment points.
▪︎ Distribute ORS and basic medicines in affected neighbourhoods.
▪︎ Start targeted mosquito control and larval source reduction.
▪︎ Share simple, repeated public messages: boil water, throw wet food, keep wounds clean, report clusters of illness.
▪︎ Map and prioritise high-risk areas for sanitation help and temporary shelter.

The current rise of COVID cases is attributed to waning immunity and the spread of the JN.1 variant, which is highly transmissible but generally causes milder illness compared to earlier variants like Delta. It is a subvariant of the Omicron variant sen previously.
