Odisha Flood Alert

No 1 September 09 2011

A Civil Society Initiative on behalf of

Odisha Water Forum &

Odisha State Center, Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India

Like Previous Years, Odisha State Centre is also trying this year to compile and disseminate flood news and updates through its bulletin Odisha Flood Alert. Though this year, we had drought in most districts

with deficit and irregular rainfall, incessant rains and heavy down pour accompanied by low pressure and rain in many part of the state, neighboring states, particularly in the upper-catchments of many rivers including the Mighty Mahanadi, over last few days have now lead to threat of heavy floods in many

parts of Odisha.

Odisha Flood Alert

Mahanadi, 4 pm, September 8, 2011

(Our Sources) Due to the incessant rain particularly in western part of Odisha and its neighboring state,

Chhatishgarh since last 2-3 days, the flood situation in many rivers is expected to be worsen further.

Already the rivers are flowing higher against the danger level. By today afternoon in Chhatishgarh from

Bango dam there is a discharge of 1.5 lakh cusec water into Hasdeo which is a major tributary of river

Mahanadi. According to the official source the inflow into Hirakud reservoir by today afternoon 3pm is

8.84 Lakh cusec with 7.95 lakh discharge through 53 gates. Till now the average rainfall in Hirakud

catchment is 64mm. Now the water level in Hirakud is 627.41 feet against the upper limit of 630 ft.

Khairmal gauge site in down stream of Hirakud dam is already flowing in an alarming level. This statistic

implies that if this situation persists further it would aggravate the flood in the already swollen

Mahanadi. Moreover the Revenue department of Odisha has already declared the flood alert in 11

coastal district.

Orissa flood situation grim

Express News Service , The New Indian Express Updated Sep 09, 2011 at 12:00am IST

BHUBANESWAR: With heavy downpour in upper catchment of river Mahanadi, flood situation in Orissa

turned grim today as 53 sluice gates of Hirakud dam were opened to discahrge water while death toll

due to floods rose to two.

As about 10 lakh cusec of water flowed into Hirakud dam, water level touched 627.5 feet as against the

reservoir level of 630 ft. "The reservoir can sustain maximum 629 feet water. If required, more gates will

be opened," Special Relief Commissioner P K Mohapatra told reporters.

While 36 of the 64 sluice gates were dischraging water from Hirakud dam yesterday, the authorities

today opened 17 more gates due to excess inflow from Chhattishgarh, he said.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik reviewed the flood scenario and directed all departments to tackle the

impending situation. The government was apprehending a severe flood this time in Mahanadi delta area

comprising four districts of Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur and Jajpur.

"Besides these four, districts like Nayagarh, Puri, Sambalpur, Sonepur and Boudh could also be affected

due to the flood in Mahanadi river system," Mohapatra said adding about 13 lakh cusec of water was

expected to flow through Mundali near Cuttack where river the bifurcated.

Odisha Flood Alert

Mohapatra, however, pointed out that 15.5 lakh cusec of water had flown through Mundali in 2008

flood. "The 2008 flood had left a trail of destruction. About 500 breaches on river and canal

embankments were reported in 2008," a senior official in water resources department said.

Mohapatra said since the flood water released from Hirakud yesterday would reach Mundali tomorrow,

the "next two days are very critical for the state."

About 500 weak points have been identified on river banks and embankments, of which 28 are highly

vulnerable to breach. Senior engineers and experts along with police force have been sent there to keep

a constant vigil.

Meanwhile, death toll due to flood rose to two with a fresh casualty in Aul area of Kendrapara district.

"A six-year-old girl identified as Chuni Das was swept away in river Baitarani," said Kendrapara Collector

P K Patnaik.

District authorities of Sambalpur, Bolangir, Sonepur, Boudh, Nayagarh, Angul, Cuttack, Puri,

Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara and Khurda have been asked to be on guard.

Revenue and Disaster Management Minister S N Patro said instruction was given to keep country

boats/mechanised boats, dry food, kerosene, flash light, satellite phones, candles, matchboxes and

other essentials ready.

Meanwhile, flood situation in Subarnarekha and Baitarani rivers improved with water receding. Over 1.5

lakh people were affected as these rivers submerged 150 villages in Balasore, Kendrapara and Jajpur

districts.

Swollen Mahanadi creates flood scare

Express News Service , The New Indian Express

Posted on Sep 08, 2011 at 12:22pm IST

BHUBANESWAR: With Hirakud feeding more and more water into Mahanadi, threat of flood loomed

large in coastal Orissa. By Friday, a moderate flood is expected in the Mahanadi river system, which is

likely to submerge low-lying areas in the deltaic region.

State Revenue department sources said at least 11 lakh cusec water is expected to pass through

Munduli by Friday noon which is likely to flood the downstream. Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara and

Nayagarh will face flood fury while Boudh, Balangir, Nuapada and Sambalpur will also be affected.

Odisha Flood Alert

“All the districts located along the Mahanadi and its tributaries have already been put on alert. The

administration has been asked to evacuate people from low-lying areas if need arises,” official sources

said. Information available from Hirakud Dam office said at least 36 sluice gates have been opened to

release water entering into the reservoir from upstream Chhattisgarh. By Wednesday evening, 5.64 lakh

cusec water was passing through Munduli. At Khairmal and Baramul, the flow was 6.86 lakh and 6.40

lakh cusec respectively.

“Currently, 5.13 lakh cusec is flowing into the reservoir, while the outflow was much higher at 6.12 lakh

cusec. The rains upstream have induced more water into Hirakud leading to a situation wherein a

moderate flood is imminent unless water flow declines,” said an official. The water level of the reservoir

stood at 626.29 feet against the full reservoir level of 630 feet. By Thursday afternoon, 9 lakh cusec

water is expected to flow in Munduli, which will rise to 11 lakh cusec within the next 24 hours. In 2008,

Munduli saw passage of 16 lakh cusec water leading to serious flood downstream of Mahanadi. While

Mahanadi was swelling, heavy rains in the catchment areas such as Sonepur and Nuapada were feeding

the river more by the hour. Nuapada had recorded 136 mm rain in the last 24 hours. “We will be

watching the scenario carefully all through the night. If more rains occur upstream, we may have to

open more gates or else we could close a few to control the outflow,” said a dam official. While

northern Orissa districts such as Balasore and Mayurbhanj are reeling under flash floods, more rains

over the next few days could trigger a disaster for the deltaic zone. Meanwhile, the Met department

said rain and thundershowers are expected at most places of coastal as well as interior Orissa during the

next 24 hours. The low pressure, which had moved towards Jharkhand and adjoining Gangetic West

Bengal, will trigger more showers. Heavy rains are expected at some places over interior as well as

coastal Orissa during the next two days
