The Sahayadri Mountain Range, which is also known as Western Ghats, is nearly 1,600 kms long. It passes through Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. 

In the last couple of months, the water levels of rivers flowing in Maharashtra have gone up significantly due to rains over the Sahyadri mountains.

Heavy rains in the last week of July caused massive floods and landslides in large parts of the state, especially in the coastal Konkan and Western Maharashtra regions. In August, people were forced to evacuate in Satara, Sangli and Kolhapur districts. 

Since June 1, as many as 296 people have died in rain-related incidents in Maharashtra. Most of the deaths in Raigad, Satara and Ratnagiri districts were caused due to landslides, while floods claimed lives in Kolhapur and Sangli.
