Floods in India

     Last year Government of India declared draught in lot of parts of the country because of shortfall of rain in the monsoon season and scientists blame to global warming. This year during rainy season people of the country was scared because of last year’s horrifying impact of deficit of rain are visible all around them and which are still biting them, hence they have their fingers cross in spite of Metrology department of India declared that this year country will have normal rainfall during monsoon season. Until the month of July rainfall stats was not good and rain deficit was in double digit in almost every part of the country plus temperature touches all time high in northern part of country for first time, these factor increase the heartbeat of countrymen for second year in row of draught like situation.
     In the beginning of August month every part of the country starts getting spell of rain not scattered or few rain drops but with every passing day rainfall starts creating condition of floods as major rivers of the country starts flowing almost there danger levels and states like Punjab, Haryana, U.P., New Delhi, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh residents badly effected by the massive rainfall.
    On 11th September, 2010 water level of Yamuna river reaches one meter above the danger mark, which means low line areas of capital submerge into water and more rain will make the condition worsen in that areas. Heavy rainfall in Punjab and Haryana turns the states into flood affected as lot of rivers breaches the mark of danger thus Haryana has no option but to release the water, which means it will also go to Delhi and as per words of chief minister of New Delhi Sheila Dikshit Haryana has release nine lakhs cusec water in just last three days it is creating problem for Delhi’s low line areas as they submerge into water. As per reports water level of Yamuna river has touches 206.17 meters level and it is just one meter short of 1978 floods of Delhi which badly effected Delhi and as Haryana is releasing water from Hathnikund Bairaj and it is directly going to create problem for Delhi residents when it will reach Delhi, plus Met department has announced heavy rain from Monday onwards till Wednesday then combine of both can prove worse for Delhi, but on other hand along with it there is good news that water starts receding despite water of Delhi goes to Yamuna and as it flowing above danger level thus authorities has closed the drainage system, and it is reducing. Reports of worst effected areas of the country’s by rain till 11th September, 2010 are –

• Punjab
• Haryana
• New Delhi
• Uttar Pradesh
• Assam
• Arunachal Pradesh

although authorities are issuing press releases that situation is under control people should not be panic and even from effected areas where water has submerge the low lines areas authorities have evacuated peoples. Coming days if pass without rain then water will reduce and normal life will begin but if effected areas of the country will get rain in next three days as per Metrology department announcement then it can create havoc in the affected areas.
