Which areas of Haryana are vulnerable to flooding?

In Haryana, the areas most vulnerable to flooding are those located in the vicinity of the tributaries of the Yamuna River and the Ghaggar River.1

While much of the state experiences arid to semiarid conditions, these specific riverine regions are subject to occasional flooding, particularly during the monsoon season when the majority of the state's annual precipitation occurs. The Ghaggar, which flows through northern Haryana, is a seasonal river whose flow is heavily dependent on monsoonal rainfall, contributing to the hydrological variability in that part of the state. Conversely, the southern and southwestern regions of Haryana are characterized by chronic drought-prone conditions rather than flood risk.123
