2022: Overview of CWC Flood Monitoring Sites in West India

(Feature Image: Bar chart showing CWC flood monitoring sites excluding UTs of Dadar & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu in West India in 2022)

Since 2018, SANDRP has been presenting detailed overviews on flood monitoring sites[i] of Central Water Commission (CWC) which is the only agency doing flood forecast work in India. This year, we have published and highlighted the inaccuracies in CWC’s flood monitoring sites in North[ii], North East[iii] and East[iv] zones. This fourth overview covers the West zone for Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa states. The previous overviews for the region can be seen here (2018[v]) and here (2019[vi]).

RAJASTHAN

Rajasthan had 33 flood monitoring sites in 2018 comprised of 25 LM and 8 IF sites. In 2019, CWC added 14 LM and 3 IF sites in the state taking total tally to 49. This included 2 repeated sites which were not counted by us. CWC had also upgraded 3 LM sites in LF sites.

As of September 2022, there are a total 46 sites in the state including 18 LF, 18 LM and 10 IF sites. In past years, CWC has removed 1 IF site, 2 repeated sites and upgraded 15 LM sites into LF sites. In 2019, there were only 3 LF sites namely Dholpur, Kota City and Abu Road.

In LF sites, the HFL and date for Chittorgarh site on Gambhir river has been changed to 409.24 m dated 24.07.1992 from 409.235 m dated 27.07.1992. The DL for Kota City site on Chambal river has been changed to 242 m from 240m. The old HFL date for the site is still unavailable.

The new HFL 225.58 m dated 16.09.2019 for Mandawara site on Chambal river has seen a rise of 7.895 m from old HFL 217.685 m dated 02.09.2006. The WL and DL for Dholpur site have been increased to 129.79 m and 130.79 m from 128.79 m and 129.58 m respectively.

The old HFL 430.71 m dated 01.06.1994 for Bigod site is higher than new HFL 351.8 m dated 08.08.2016. The HFL for Jahajpur, Dubi and Borkhandi sites are lower than either WL or DL. Till 2019, CWC maintained 199.281 m dated 09.09.1973 as HFL for Baranwada site but now has updated it to 202.685 m dated 20.07.1981, which again shows that CWC has not been maintaining the HFL records properly. Out of 18 sites, hydrographs for 13 sites are found running slow by 3 to 4 hours.

Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh had 40 flood monitoring sites in 2018 comprising of 2 LF, 35 LM and 3 IF sites. In 2019, CWC added 112 sites including 1 LF, 104 LM and 7 IF sites taking total tally to 152 sites.

In past two years, CWC has upgraded 17 LM sites into LF and added 3 new LF sites. It has also removed 8 LM sites and added 5 new one. Further, it has removed 1 and added 4 new IF sites.  So, as of September 2022, there are 156 flood monitoring sites in the state comprised of 23 LF, 119 LM and 14 IF sites. The list of all added, upgraded and removed sites is given in separate tables below.

In LF sites, the WL is not given for Mortakka site which interestingly has not breached the HFL since 1961 while the HFL dates are missing for Teska, Dedtalai and Burhanpur sites. The 2012 HFL for Sarangpur site is higher than 2006 however the same was not updated by CWC till 2019. Out of 23 sites, hydrographs for 12 sites are running slow.

The CWC has made several changes in the names and spellings of several sites, rivers and districts. The changes made are inserted with sites while old information is given in next rows after all such sites.

The HFL level for Beda at Satwadi site was 232.32m on 09.08.2019 but now it is changed to 205.52 m dated 14.07.2022. Similarly, the previous HFL 349.5 m dated 30.07.1991 for Ramkona site was higher than 349.2 m dated 29.08.2020.

Same is the case with Rajegaon site at which present HFL 284.23 m dated 29.08.2020 is lower than 285.015 m dated 23.07.2014. Hydrographs for D/S Hoshangabad and Nahargarh are inactive while not being updated timely for about 65 other sites.

MAHARASHTRA

Maharashtra had 67 flood monitoring sites comprising of 8 LF, 52 LM and 7 IF sites in 2018. A total of 37 more sites were added in the state by CWC in 2019 including 4 LF, 26 LM and 7 IF. It also removed 7 inactive and repeated sites. So by 2019 there were 97 flood monitoring sites in the state comprising of 11 LF, 72 LM and 14 IF sites.

In the past two years, CWC has upgraded 27 LM sites into LF sites. It has also added 20 new sites in the state including 4 LF, 13 LM and 03 IF sites. At the same site 4 old LM sites has been removed from the state. Hence, as of September 2022, there are a total 113 flood monitoring sites in Maharashtra comprising of 42 LF, 54 LM and 17 IF sites. The list of all upgraded, added and removed sites is given separately after covering overall sites in the state.

Out of 42 LF sites CWC has updated new HFL for 13 sites. There are sites which had breached HFL before 2019 but were not updated in time. CWC has also not mentioned HFL dates for 14 sites while DL for 2 sites and HFL for 1 site are missing. The hydrographs for 28 sites are running slow by 2 to 3 hours. CWC has changed WL, DL for Bhandara site. The old HFL 13.325 m dated 05.09.2011 was higher than 12.465 m dated 05.08.2019 for Niivali site.

In LM sites, CWC has added new HFL for 28 sites. Most of these sites had breached the HFL before 2019, however the same was not updated by the CWC at that time. There are 7 sites without HFL and 10 sites without HFL dates. The hydrographs are inactive for 4 sites while not being updated in time for 35 other sites.

The hydrograph for Mirdapalli site shows it breaching HFL 237.54 m at 11:00 hour on 31.08.2022 while CWC had previously updated its HFL as 243.55 m. The hydrograph is inactive now.

Summary

In 2018, the CWC FF website had listed a total of 173 sites including 17 LF, 130 LM and 26 IF sites in West Zone comprising of Rajasthan (30), Madhya Pradesh (40), Gujarat (34), Maharashtra (67) and Goa (2). In 2019, CWC added 165 more flood monitoring sites taking total tally to 338 sites (23 LF, 273 LM and 42 IF) of which 47 were in Rajasthan, 152 in Madhya Pradesh, 40 in Gujarat, 97 in Maharashtra and 2 in Goa.

Bar chart showing CWC flood monitoring sites excluding UTs of Dadar & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu in West India in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

In the past two years, 30 more sites have been added in West Zone and now there are 368 sites (96 LF, 224 LM, 48 IF sites) in the region of which 46 are in Rajasthan, 156 in Madhya Pradesh, 49 in Gujarat, 113 in Maharashtra, 2 in Goa and 1 each in Dadar & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.

Total9602159453368
WEST India96 224 48 368

Of the total 368 sites, 12 sites (9 LM and 3 IF) sites are inactive hence the actual number of active sites in the region is 356. Like other regions, CWC has been upgrading LM sites to LF sites in West region too and most of the upgraded sites lack complete details.

As a result, the number of LF sites has gone upto 96 from 23 while the number of LM sites has come down to 224 from 273 in 2019 in West zone. In this period CWC, has added only 6 new IF sites in West region. Most of the IF sites are functioning like LM sites with incomplete information on inflows and outflows.

In another concerning trend, the CWC has not been updating the hydrographs in timely manner and there are a total 218 sites including 62 LF, 122 LM and 34 IF sites with hydrographs running late by 2-3 more several hours during active monsoon season.

Similarly, there are 28 sites without HFL and 48 sites without HFL dates. The FRL and MWL is missing for 9 and 5 sites respectively. CWC has been changing sites spelling, rivers name and even districts for scores of sites which shows inconsistency in its record keeping.

Similarly, the HFL and dates are not being updated in time and in many cases new HFL are found lower than previous HFL. The other inaccuracies and mistakes have already been highlighted in state wise manner above. Broadly, it is imperative for CWC to improve these basic errors if it has any hope of giving better impression of its flood forecast and monitoring work.
