Boatmen Navigate Flooded Yamuna Riverbank

Boatmen row a boat near a partially submerged helipad on the banks of the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following days of heavy monsoon rains. Seasonal flooding along India's major rivers often disrupts infrastructure, submerges roads and low-lying areas, and forces local residents to adapt their routines. The partially flooded helipad illustrates the extent of the overflow, as water encroaches upon critical infrastructure. Small boats become an essential mode of transport and livelihood for those living along the riverbanks. The image reflects the resilience of communities in flood-prone regions, where annual monsoon patterns bring both vital water resources and the looming threat of displacement or property loss.
