Kurundwad, Leader News Service : If the amount of rain is high, it is not possible to stop the flood if the government properly plans the water coming into the river basin and implements the remedial plan. But its intensity can be reduced. Pradeep Purandare, former member of Vadanere Committee asserted that proper planning and discharge from Koyna Almatti Dam will not create a disaster like flood and a permanent solution will be found.
At the confluence of Krishna-Panchganga river at Kurundwad, the second flood conference was held on Thursday evening by the “Andolan Ankush” and the Krishna Flood Control Nagari Kriti Samiti, Sangli. On this occasion, Purandare of Vadanere Committee was speaking as the main speaker. Former Director General of Water Resources Department D. Hon. There were more., Kolhapur Irrigation Superintending Engineer Mahesh Surve, Sangli Water Resources Department former Deputy Engineer Vijay Kumar Dewan, former Deputy Engineer Prabhakar Kengar, Chintamani Sahastrabuddhe etc. were present.
Speaking further on this occasion, the former member of the committee Purandare further said, the bridges built in the riverbed to connect the villages to the Almatti Dam and their filling as well as the encroachment on the streams and drains in the small villages are the causes of the flood. There was no discussion.
Speaking on this occasion, former Director General More said, the global disaster like Corona has been stopped by the government of the country and the state by implementing good measures. But they do not take seriously about the deluge, it is necessary to force the state government to stop the disaster of deluge permanently by setting up an organizational generator.
Speaking on this occasion, Sahastrabuddhe said, the government is ready to implement a solution plan to stop many calamities. But why is this government failing to stop the flood? And if the government studies it, it will be possible to stop the deluge. However, if the sluggish government system is to be woken up, generators are necessary.
Former engineer Vijaykumar Dewan said, Karnataka and Maharashtra state governments will coordinate water discharge by showing immediate seriousness about the suggestions made in the case of floods by meeting with the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde and the delegation of Andolan Ankush Sangathan. It has been completed by the Maharashtra government during the summer, so they have assured that there will be no deluge this year. Depletion of water from the Koyna Varana dam before June is likely to result in this year’s rains filling the dams and draining Karnataka state, leaving water in the river basin. Therefore, this year’s flood is not expected.
