The Godavari River in India was very high and caused a flood.
On Sunday, the water level was still high but it started to go down after 5 pm.
The river was still above the danger level, so officials warned people in low places to stay careful.
The flood was expected to get better by Monday evening if the water keeps falling.
The authorities are watching the river all the time and are releasing water into the sea to keep the flood under control.
