Floods:

This year we have been rather unfortunate in the heavy distress that has been widely suffered through floods due to untimely and abnormally heavy rains. The dams that have been constructed were not sufficient to control the floods. The D.V.C. project being essentially a multipurpose one, did not, unfortunately, have full control of floods. In every project having more purposes than one, there are usually several conflicting requirements which cannot all be provided for and some compromise has to be made. The requirements of Flood Control conflict with requirements of Irrigation. The major purpose being, in this case, Irrigation, Flood control has been sacrificed to a certain extent to reduce the cost of the project.
