The 2011 Sindh floods was the highest-ever recorded rainfall between 11 August 2011, and 14 September 2011 in Sindh Province, Pakistan.
Heavy rainfall was the main cause of the 2011 Sindh floods. After 15 September 2011, water receded from the inundated area at the rate of 167 square kilometers a day.[2] Unprecedented, torrential monsoon rains caused severe flooding in 16 districts of the Sindh province.[3] The flooding followed the previous year's historic 2010 Pakistan floods, which devastated the entire country.[4]
An estimated 434 civilians were killed while 5.3 million people and 1,524,773 homes were affected.[4]
