Flood Forecasting & Warning Services
On an average, around and over 6000 forecasts are being issued every year by Central Water Commission during Flood Season. Normally, these forecasts are issued 12 to 48 hours in advance, depending upon the river terrain, the locations of flood forecasting sites and base stations. For the purpose of flood forecasting, hydrological and meteorological data is being observed at 878 sites and communicated through a network of 544 wireless stations. Synoptic weather situations, weather forecast/heavy rainfall warnings etc. are also being collected from FMO’s of IMD. During the flood season 2014 (May to Oct.), 4772 flood forecasts (3884 level forecasts and 888 inflow forecasts) were issued out of which 4667 (97.80%) were found within accuracy limit of ± 0.15 m for level forecast and ± 20% for inflow forecast. Hourly hydrological data is entered by all the divisions of CWC in newly launched web‐based software e‐SWIS from 2014 monsoon to monitor the current status of the river. This is new development made by CWC during 2014. The website has user friendly features like map based display of FF sites latest status, hydrograph of last 72 hours actual observed data plus forecast as extension of the hydrograph if any, etc.
Modernization of Flood Forecasting Services
To make the flood forecasts more accurate, effective and timely, the modernization activities are being taken up on a continuous basis. During XI plan, 222 telemetry stations have been installed in different river basins. Moreover, 1 Earth Station at New Delhi (UYD) and 10 Modelling Centres at Patna (MGD‐V) in Bihar, Jalpaiguri (LBD) in West Bengal, Lucknow (MGD‐I) and Varanasi (MGD‐III) in Uttar Pradesh, Dehradun (HGD) in Uttarakhand, Gandhinagar (MD) and Surat (TD) in Gujarat, Bhusaval (UTSD) in Maharashtra, Shimla (SHD) in Himachal Pradesh and FFM Directorate in NCR, Delhi have been installed. The data reception from all the sites modernised is being monitored from FFM Directorate, CWC, New Delhi. To improve the flood forecast modelling, windows based MIKE‐11 software were procured and supplied to modelling centres established under IX and X Plans. Development of MIKE‐11 models for Flood Forecasting of Sankosh, Godavari, Brahmaputra and Yamuna Basins have been taken up.

This has been achieved through 82 meetings of SSCAC and 109 meetings of Permanent Standing Committee of SSCAC, numerous discussions/negotiations & interdepartmental and interstate interactions. Physical Progress: Majority of the Unit –I works are completed. However, raising of dam was halted at the Spillway crest level since 2006. The balance works remaining to be carried out are raising of piers, overhead bridge and installation of Radial Gates in the spillway portion of the dam. Recently, permission has been received to carry out Phase‐I proposal comprising construction of piers, overhead bridge and installation of gates in open or raised position at SSP. Accordingly, related construction activity has started. Unit‐III works except Garudeshwar Weir have been completed. Financial Progress: The financial inputs to the tune of over Rs. forty four thousand crore on Sardar Sarovar Project have been handled by the SSCAC so far and thus effectively achieving the purpose for which it is set up.
