Vadodara: The rising water level of river Vishwamitri create worries among the people of Vadodara, however, only if there is heavy rain in Vadodara-Panchmahal district, will it create a worrying situation.

Just as the water level of Vishwamitri river increases, the people of Vadodara would be worried. This is natural because the city has flooded many times in the past years. However, the situation that threatens flood in the current monsoon has arisen only in the last two days, because water has been released by opening sixty-two gates of Ajwa Dam, due to which the water level of Vishwamitri at Kala Ghoda Bridge has crossed twenty-one feet.

In Vadodara, the danger level is considered when the water level reaches twenty-six feet below Kala Ghoda Bridge. However, the impact of flood in some low-lying areas occurs when the water level reaches 29 feet. And in various areas, widespread impact occurs after the level of 31 feet.

Will this situation arise this time? The answer to this question depends on the rainfall in Panchmahal and Vadodara districts next. Whether the rainfall in Panchmahal and Vadodara districts is heavy, very heavy, extremely heavy or light and normal, or not at all, all these factors determine how much the water level of Vishwamitri will rise or fall.

As of 8 am on Sunday, the water level at Kala Ghoda was 21.30 feet, which was about 17 feet twenty-four hours ago.

Commoners and the administration will have to keep a close eye on how much rainfall is now witnessed in Vadodara district, Vadodara city and areas east of the city including Halol, Pavagadh etc. in Panchmahal. DeshGujarat
