Phailin is the most intense cyclone to cross the Indian coast after Odisha Super Cyclone of 29th October 1999. Tropical cyclones are characterized by destructive winds, storm surges and very heavy rainfall. Thousands of lives were saved in the coastal districts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh due to accurate and advanced prediction of the cyclone Phailin by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The Government of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and the Central Government carried out massive mobilization of resources to shift people in the vulnerable areas to safer places. It may be noted that at the time of Odisha Super Cyclone in 1999, more than 10,000 lives were lost in Odisha. Science and technology of early warning of tropical cyclones as well as disaster management strategies have changed considerably since then. In contrast to Odisha super cyclone in 1999, the cyclone Phailin accounted for Satellite Picture of Phailin on October 12 2013. just a few deaths. National Disaster Response Force for the purpose Very Severe Cyclonic Storm PHAILIN: At the of specialized response to a threatening disaster time of landfall of Phailin on 12th Oct. the maximum situation or disaster. After the super cyclone of sustained surface wind speed was about 215 kmph. 1999, the Government of Odisha had constituted Phailin caused very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall the Odisha State Disaster Mitigation Authority to over Odisha (some places up to 38 cm in 24 hours) develop a systematic and planned approach to leading to floods.

The world needs significant amounts of water for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. Today, water resources are used at a rate faster than they are replenished. Soon the resource would decline and the usage would become unsustainable. Therefore, it is essential to conserve water. We know that freshwater resources are limited and unevenly distributed; yet every year large quantities of fresh water that can be stored in dams continue to flow into the seas through rivers. In ancient times, dams were built for the single purpose of water supply or irrigation. It was in 1870, when water from a lake was first used to generate hydroelectricity. Asia’s first hydroelectric power generation started in 1898 in Darjeeling, West Bengal. Since then hundreds of dams and reservoirs have been built to generate electricity. Dams provide important and significant benefits to our society, but large dams, used for hydropower, affect many ecological aspects of a river. Dams slow the river flow which in turns disturbs the related ecology. Another problem created by a dam pertains to temperature. In general, a river has fairly homogeneous temperature profile. But a reservoir created by a dam has different layers of temperatures, warm at the top and cold at the bottom. Water born disease at the reservoir’s bottom decomposes without oxygen and generates methane. When water passes through the dam’s turbines, this methane is released into the atmosphere. This increases the impact of dams in global warming to levels much higher than would occur by generating the same power from fossil fuels. In other words, the belief that dams provide clean and green power is a myth. Native people suffer the negative effects of dams. There is also increase in the incidence of waterborne diseases such as malaria, dengue, hepatitis, schistosomiasis and river blindness. Valuable resources such as fertile land and forest land along with hard wood trees and medicinal plants and biological resources are also submerged. Earthquakes can also be induced by the weight of the water stored in the reservoir on nearby fault lines. At present there are about 48,000 large dams in the world, barricading 60% of the world’s rivers. The last two decades have witnessed an accelerated pace of dam construction worldwide. Majority of large dams have been completed only in the last 30 years. Dams, however also play an important role in utilising water resources for irrigation, drinking water supply, flood control, navigation, fishing, and electricity generation. No doubt, for sustainable development, multipurpose dams are the most realistic option, but they need to be built in an environmentally sound and sustainable way. This stratification in temperature also leads to the stratification in oxygen levels. Fresh (warm) water surface contains a significant amount of oxygen whereas cooler water at deeper levels contains very low amount of oxygen, this depletion of oxygen is because of decomposition of organic matter and lack of sunlight for photosynthesis. Due to this change, plant life is also affected. A large dam can cause the loss of an entire ecosphere, including unidentified species in the area, and the replacement of the original environment by a new inland lake. It has been claimed that hydroelectric dams provide “green” electricity, but a reservoir produces more greenhouse gas by decomposition of submerged vegetation, than a river does before a dam is built. A completely filled up reservoir does not produce much greenhouse gas, but a large amount of CO2 is released when a reservoir is initially flooded and the organic matter start decomposing. After this first phase of decay, plant matter settling VIPNET NEWS Pankaj Agarwal [email protected] 8 DECEMBER 2013 / Vol. 11 / No.12 International Year of Water Cooperation 2013 pk¡n ds ikj eaxy;ku jkWdVs us ;k=k 'kq: dh vkSj iy Hkj esa gh jkWdVs Hkh n`f"V ls xk;c gks x;kA mPp rduhdh fe'ku fu;a=k.k d{k ds oSKkfud vkSj bathfu;jksa us bl ?kVuk dks dEI;wVj ij ns[kk vkSj iy&iy dh tkudkjh nhA eaxy vfHk;ku ds fy, ;g mUur laLdj.k dk jkWdVs cuk;k x;k gSA pUnz;ku&I vfHk;ku esa Hkh ih-,l-,y-oh-&,Dl,y dk mi;ksx fd;k x;k FkkA djhc 300 fnu i'pkr~] ;fn ;g fe'ku flrEcj 2014 esa iw.kZ :i ls lQy gksrk gS rks Hkkjr vf/kd 'kfDr'kkyh jk"Vªkas dh oSf'od varfj{k yhx esa 'kkfey gks tk;sxkA bldk dkj.k gS fd varfj{k;ku dks jkWdVs ls vyx djuk] lqnjw laons u ;k lapkj c<+kus okys fu;fer vfHk;ku dh rqyuk esa tfVy ,oa nq"dj dk;Z gSA ekuo jfgr ;g varfj{k;ku] eaxy xzg dk izFke vfHk;ku gksxkA bls eaxy xzg dh ifjØek fe'ku ds :i esa ukfer fd;k x;k gSA yxHkx 450 djksM+ dh ykxr okys Hkkjrh;
