Portions of Bagalkot district, especially low‑lying villages along the Krishna and Ghataprabha rivers, have been severely affected by late‑monsoon floods in 2025. Heavy rain in upstream Maharashtra and neighbouring Karnataka districts led to large releases from reservoirs, causing river levels to rise and submerge roads, minor bridges and agricultural lands in pockets of Bagalkot and Vijayapura.
Reports describe extensive damage to standing crops such as cotton, onion, sunflower, maize and tur dal, along with partial or full damage to houses in several villages. District‑level teams, including the deputy commissioner and local MLAs, have inspected affected areas, set up relief centres and promised compensation according to state norms. Officials from Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam and Almatti dam have also monitored inflows and increased regulated outflows as a precaution, while urging people in vulnerable stretches to move to safer locations until water levels recede.
