a. Swollen Mahanadi creates flood scare

Express News Service 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. 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.

b. Orissa flood situation grim

Express News Service 09 September 2011 The New Indian Express 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. 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.

c. Collectors of 11 districts put on alert after flood threat in State

The Pioneer, Friday, 09 September 2011 02:05 ;PNS | Bhubaneswar With several places in the State already reeling under the impact of floods, 11 districts in Odisha have been put on alert due to a likely release of 10 lakh cusec of water from the Hirakud dam on Thursday, official sources said on Wednesday. About 10 lakh cusec water is likely to be discharged at Mundali near Cuttack on Friday which will create a flood situation in the Mahanadi river system. The State Government directed the Collectors of 11 districts to alert the field functionaries and draw emergency plan to tackle any situation. Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surjya Narayan Patro, however, said 14 lakh cusec water had flown to Mundali in the past. The districts located in Mahanadi delta area are required to remain extra alert for the situation, he added. Asking the district authorities of Sambalpur, Balangir, Sonepur, Boudh, Nayagarh, Angul, Cuttack, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada and Khurda to be on guard, the Revenue and Disaster Management Department issued instructions to keep country boats, mechanised boats, dry food, kerosene, flash light, satellite phones, candles, matchboxes and other essentials ready. The Collectors have been asked to deport mobile teams for close watch on vulnerable and weak river, canal embankments, said an official, adding directives have also been issued to make suitable arrangement to restrict plying of vehicles on the roads overflowing with flood water. Though flood water affected normal life in Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur and Kendrapara districts, the State Government apprehends more trouble due to heavy rainfall at the catchment area of the Mahanadi. Meanwhile, one person was swept away as swollen rivers submerged over 150 villages and affected more than one lakh people in the State where the water level of river Mahanadi was on the rise on Wednesday, said official sources. Major rivers including Mahanadi, Brahmani, Kathajodi, Baitarani, Subarnarekha, Budhabalanga, Bansadhara and Jalaka were in spate following heavy downpour triggered by a low pressure. Flood waters of the Baitarani river submerged over 40 villages in Jajpur and Dasarathpur blocks of Jajpur district affecting around 22,000 people, a senior district official said, adding relief and rescue operation was launched for the marooned villagers.

d. CM takes stock of situation, puts all departments on alert
The Pioneer, Friday, 09 September 2011 02:03 PNS | Bhubaneswar With 11 districts put on high alert for the possible high floods, particualry in the Mahanadi delta system, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday took stock of the situation at an emergency meeting at the State secretariat. Expressing concern over the situation, the Chief Minister asked the District Collectors of Cuttack, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Puri, Khurda, Angul, Sonepur, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur and Boudh to start relief operations in the vulnerable areas for seven days. If required, air dropping of food packets would be taken up, he said.

Patnaik asked the Revenue Minister to take immediate measures for relief and rescue operations by providing boats, mechanised boats and the ODRAF units to be on guard. A high flood has been triggered in the Mahanadi system following heavy rain both in the upper and lower catchments of the river, particularly in Chhatisgarh. Due to the huge water inflow into the Hirakud reservoir, the outflow has been increased to maximum level with the opening of 53 out of 64 sluice gates for the safety of the embankment. According to the flood Control Room, 11 lakhs cusecs of flood water is likely to cross Mundali, which may cause high floods in seven coastal districts. Due to the high discharge of water into the lower catchment, number of areas in seven coastal districts, besides Sonepur and Jharsuguda, have already been under the impact of floods and lakhs of people have been affected. The Chief Minister has also directed the district authorities to evacuate the families living in the low-lying areas in the catchment of Mahanadi to safe places and provide relief to the distressed. He also said as precautionary measures, polythene rolls should be kept ready at tehsil level and distributed to the distressed.
