Odisha Flood Alert III Sep 10 2011
Pranab Choudhury
Dear All,
Please find attached the 3rd Flood Alert (Flood situation on 10th September in Odisha) of this year 2011.
With flood approaching peak and situations becoming vulnerable and tense in most part of the state, debates around management of Hirakud Dam and its contribution to deltaic flood, have resurfaced once again. One can see them in e-groups, print-media and social network sites apart from being part of formal and informal discussions and chit-chats. We see a strong imperative to compliment such debates with facts, data and evidence and the potential of a research-based advocacy in this context. To make a small contribution towards this we are analyzing the available data and are trying to come out with our interpretation of the situation on Sunday.
We request to all recipients and their civil society contacts/friends to kindly mail (bait...@gmail.com) /phone (Bhupesh: 8763039252) us such events/developments related to Flood in your areas for adding value and meaning to this Civil Society Initiative.
This initiative is an attempt to provide daily updates on Flood Situations and related events/news to water enthusiasts, professionals and citizens concerned about flood in Odisha. News and information collected from Odia news papers, English media (internet editions) and web site of Department of Water Resources, Govt of Odisha are put together at one place to provide an overview of flood in Odisha on a daily basis. There is also a section to present uncovered/latest flood developments/news from the field, which we seek to collect with support from all of you – our civil society partners. This Flood alert is being circulated among media, decision makers – legislatures, bureaucrats etc. with an aim to catalyze informed and expeditious decisions and actions.
Needless to say that all such news will be acknowledged with source
This Flood Alert is are also available at SCRIBD.

Pranab, Bhupesh and Jinda
