The Wardha River has flooded four times since 1950, in 1959, 1962, 1979 and 1991. The floods of 1962 and 1991 were the worst, causing heavy loss of life, property, crops and infrastructure. [4] After the devastating flood of July 1991, all the houses in Mowad were shifted to safer sites. It is now a much more well planned town. [5]
