A flood of ideas and yet the floods wreak havoc!

Deccan Chronicle  

Thousands of crores are being spent on flood management techniques, accurate weather prediction systems and better water resource management but at the end of the day nothing has worked with seven districts of North Karnataka bearing the brunt of unprecedented floods owing to abnormal rainfall and the inflow from neighboring Maharashtra in the past one month. The mighty Almatti reservoir itself witnessed a record inflow of 6.4 lakh cusecs water, prompting the authorities to release a whopping 700 tmc water downstream of Narayanpur dam in Raichur district within 15-20 days. Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam Ltd, which is responsible for execution and maintenance of all irrigation projects coming under Upper Krishna Project, needs to adopt modern technology after studying flood management, says experts who claim that raising the Almatti dam height as per the recommendation of the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal will not only help withstand the floods to some extent, but also enable farmers to combat recurrent droughts. But many irrigation experts feel the damage due to natural calamities can be minimized if the dam height is raised to enable storage of 15 lakh cusecs water. “Priority should be given to raise the height of Almatti dam to enable the storage of an additional 130 tmc water allocated by the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal.
