SOUTH INDIA Overview of CWC Flood Forecasting Sites

Central Water Commission is the only agency doing flood forecasting in India. As per CWC’s Flood Forecasting website[i] the Data Flow Map has information about 226 Flood Forecast Sites in the country comprising of 166 Level Forecast Sites and 60 Inflow Forecast Sites. It also monitors 700 Flood sites, information made available through List Based Exploration and Hydrograph View, but no flood forecasting is done for these sites.

In order to better understand the CWC’s flood monitoring and forecasting work, in this article, we have given an overview of CWC’s flood forecasting and monitoring sites in South India. It includes state wise list of CWC’s Level Forecast, Inflow Forecast and level monitoring sites in South India. Similar report has been published for North India[ii] and North East India[iii] and East India[iv]. 

Tamil Nadu There are 3 Level Forecasting, 48 Level Monitoring and 14 Inflow Forecasting sites in Tamil Nadu State. Out of total 65 sites, 19 Level Monitoring and 2 Inflow Forecasting sites are inactive. MWL information is given only for 1 Inflow Forecasting site out of 14. IRRUKKANKUDI, Sathanur and Gomukhi sites are repeated with incomplete information. Out of 48, HFL figure and date is not provided for 25 Level Monitoring sites.

Several Kerala Rivers have set new HFL record in Aug. 2018. 

ANDHRA PRADESH There are 42 sites including 11 Level Forecasting, 18 Level Monitoring and 13 Inflow Forecasting sites. Out this, hydro graphs for 3 Level Forecasting, 1 Level Monitoring and 7 Inflow Forecasting sites are inactive. HFL details and date are not given for 21 sites.

Godavari Rly Bridge and Rajahmundry sites have similar WL, DL, HFL details. Godavari Rly Bridge has active hydro graph whereas the hydro graph of Rajahmundry is inactive. Seeing the hydrograph, it seems Annamayya site is being monitored on daily basis instead of hourly basis. Srisailam and Srisailam Dam is one site. It is mentioned twice. Srisailam hydrograph is active and Srisailam Dam site hydro graph is inactive.
