Update on Orissa flood: IAG Orissa: 12:30 PM: 23rd July'09
IAG Orissa Emergency Sitrep 13/2009
Orissa Flood Update
Time: 12.30 PM; Date: 23rd July 2009
Situation Report
No flood in state
Due to very less amount of rainfall received in last 24 hours across the state in average, improved the situation in state allying quite less fears of floods.
The western part of the state received widespread rain on Wednesday, but that is not enough to cause flood like situation. There was some speculation of medium level flooding in Mahanadi river system as Hirakud Dam Authority on Wednesday evening opened 30 sluice gates to discharge the surplus water. Yesterday, the reservoir crossed 621 feet of water level as against its danger mark of 630 feet after receiving water from Chhatisgarh region in upper catchments areas, which received a rainfall of 55 mm in last 24 hours.
But, there is almost no chance of water level cross the danger mark in Naraj and Munduli as it is flowing well below the danger level.
Water level receded in major rivers
As the rain stopped in the state, the water level in the major rivers has receded drastically. Even, there was a no moon day on Wednesday; prediction of high tide might prevent water release in sea, which is not happened.
Situation improved in districts
Situation improved in the areas, which are badly water logged and marooned in Ganjam, Nayagarh and Cuttack, because of flash flood and breaches in tributary canals locally. The three districts have received no rainfall in last 24 hours and water receded considerably from the area.
Receding water raises fear of diseases
Ganjam
Drinking water crisis: As many as 123 villages in Bhanjanagar, Belaghunta and Jagannath Prasad blocks are facing acute shortage of drinking water. District administration has started distributing water pouches through RWS&S Dept.
Heath crisis: Around 20 villages are affected with diarrhoea at Angargaon area and 10 people are suffering from other water borne diseases due to lack of proper drinking water. However, the district health officials have taken precautionary measures by deploying 3 medical teams in vulnerable areas and trying to prevent the outbreak. While contacted, Mr. Ratnakar Behera, CDMO informed that heath workers have advised people to drink only boiled water.
Koraput
The torrential rain has triggered fear of malaria in 16 GPs under Dasmantpur block. Meanwhile one died and several people admitted in the nearby PHCs and CHCs, district sources confirmed. The health scenario may become grave if the cut off road communication in the block is not restored at the earliest, as the block headquarter has remained cut off from Koraput town due to the Khajuriguda bridge and approach roads to Padisil bridge have been washed away by the flash flood recently.
Khurda
As many as 50 people have been admitted in the district headquarter hospital suffering from diarrhoea in last 24 hours. Situation in Benupr village under Balianta block is also worsening as more than 20 people are suffering from diarrhoea and admitted in the local CHC.
Cuttack
About 10 people are suffering from diarrhoea in Ward No. 53 under Cuttack Minicipal Corporation and admitted in the SCB Medical College & Hospital. The CMC authority rushed a medical team to the area for distributing medicine and ORS pouches.

Hirakud to open more 5 gates on Saturday
Hirakud dam authorities are all set to open 5 more gates of the reservoir to divert flood water. The incessant downpour in Chhatisgarh in last 48 hours raised the water level at 614.19 feet even after opening of 5 gates to release flood water on Friday afternoon as against its danger level of 630 feet. The inflow of water into the reservoir on Friday night was recorded 219831 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 183721 cusec per second.
Five sluice gates opened in Hirakud on Friday
Hirakud Dam project authorities have released water from the reservoir to river Mahanadi on Friday at 4.30 pm for the first time during this monsoon by opening 5 gates.
The Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) of Northern Division Jamil Ahmed Khan opened the first gate after the rituals. IG of Police YB Khurania, Sambalpur Collector Pradipta Kumar Patnaik and Bargarh Collector SC Padhi were present on the occasion.
’As per the rule curve we have now more water in the reservoir. Mahanadi bed below is almost empty due to scanty rainfall in down-stream. This gives us the opportunity to release the extra water from the reservoir,’ said JB Mahapatra, the superintendent engineer (SE) of Hirakud dam project. ‘We will maintain the level at 600-605 feet up to the first week of August. And the present situation is no worrying for us even as the water level touched 613. 47 feet due to incessant rainfall in the upper catchments from 13th to 15th July,’ said Mohapatra.
The inflow of water into the reservoir was recorded 267940 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 35233 cusec per second.
Hirakud Dam
Hirakud Dam is built across the Mahanadi River, about 15 km from Sambalpur. Built in 1956, the dam is the world's largest earthen dam. Behind the dam extends a lake, 55 km long. Hirakud Dam is one of the longest dams in the world, about 16 miles (26 km) in length. It was the first major multipurpose river valley project started after India's independence.

In the upper drainage basin of the Mahanadi River, centered on the Chattisgarh Plain, periodic droughts contrast with the situation in the lower delta region where floods may damage crops. The dam was constructed to help alleviate the problems by creating a reservoir and controlling river flow through the drainage system. The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants. The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 7,500,000 hectares of land. Hydroelectricity is also generated. The Hirakud Dam regulates 83,400 km² (32,200 mi²) of Mahanadi's drainage. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 5.818 km³ with gross of 8.136 km³.
The project provides 1,556 km² of kharif and 1,084 km² of rabi irrigation in industries of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Bolangir, and Subarnpur. The water released by the power plant irrigates another 4360 km² of CCA in Mahanadi delta. The dam can generate up to 307.5 MW of electrical power through its two power plants at Burla, on the dam's right bank and Chiplima, 22 km downstream from the dam. In addition, the project provides flood protection to 9500 km² of delta area in district of Cuttack and Puri.

In the upper drainage basin of the Mahanadi River, centered on the Chattisgarh Plain, periodic droughts contrast with the situation in the lower delta region where floods may damage crops. The dam was constructed to help alleviate the problems by creating a reservoir and controlling river flow through the drainage system. The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants. The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 7,500,000 hectares of land. Hydroelectricity is also generated. The Hirakud Dam regulates 83,400 km² (32,200 mi²) of Mahanadi's drainage. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 5.818 km³ with gross of 8.136 km³.
The project provides 1,556 km² of kharif and 1,084 km² of rabi irrigation in industries of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Bolangir, and Subarnpur. The water released by the power plant irrigates another 4360 km² of CCA in Mahanadi delta. The dam can generate up to 307.5 MW of electrical power through its two power plants at Burla, on the dam's right bank and Chiplima, 22 km downstream from the dam. In addition, the project provides flood protection to 9500 km² of delta area in district of Cuttack and Puri.

Orissa Flood Update
Situation Report
Met office waned for isolated heavy rain
On Saturday, the local met office waned for another spell of isolated heavy rainfall throughout the state in next 48 hours. Under the influence of Upper air Cyclonic circulation over North Orissa- Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining North West Bay of Bengal, a low pressure area has formed over North West Bay of Bengal off Orissa coast at 0830 hours IST of dated 18th July 2009.
Hirakud to open more 5 gates on Saturday
Hirakud dam authorities are all set to open 5 more gates of the reservoir to divert flood water. The incessant downpour in Chhatisgarh in last 48 hours raised the water level at 614.19 feet even after opening of 5 gates to release flood water on Friday afternoon as against its danger level of 630 feet. The inflow of water into the reservoir on Friday night was recorded 219831 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 183721 cusec per second.
Five sluice gates opened in Hirakud on Friday
Hirakud Dam project authorities have released water from the reservoir to river Mahanadi on Friday at 4.30 pm for the first time during this monsoon by opening 5 gates.
The Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) of Northern Division Jamil Ahmed Khan opened the first gate after the rituals. IG of Police YB Khurania, Sambalpur Collector Pradipta Kumar Patnaik and Bargarh Collector SC Padhi were present on the occasion.
’As per the rule curve we have now more water in the reservoir. Mahanadi bed below is almost empty due to scanty rainfall in down-stream. This gives us the opportunity to release the extra water from the reservoir,’ said JB Mahapatra, the superintendent engineer (SE) of Hirakud dam project. ‘We will maintain the level at 600-605 feet up to the first week of August. And the present situation is no worrying for us even as the water level touched 613. 47 feet due to incessant rainfall in the upper catchments from 13th to 15th July,’ said Mohapatra.
The inflow of water into the reservoir was recorded 267940 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 35233 cusec per second.
Hirakud Dam
Hirakud Dam is built across the Mahanadi River, about 15 km from Sambalpur. Built in 1956, the dam is the world's largest earthen dam. Behind the dam extends a lake, 55 km long. Hirakud Dam is one of the longest dams in the world, about 16 miles (26 km) in length. It was the first major multipurpose river valley project started after India's independence.
