The 1728 Khordad Floods occurred when a cloudburst occurred over western princely state of Çakaristan, Sunehra, on 14.VIII.1728 AN. This caused devastating floods and landslides. The rainfall received that month was far greater than the rainfall the state usually received. Debris blocked the rivers, causing major overflow.
The flood followed the Adaraney river, so the states of Parvatalaya and Adardesh (states of Haritdesh) also faced floods. Due to heavy rainfall, water levels in the Alba and Leyl rivers were also high. The dam at Khodapatnam was closed to prevent more water from Lake Jodha from entering the Leyl River.
