Originally Published on Aug 3: Flood alert issued in Pune after Khadakwasla dam gates opened

Flood alert has been issued by the civic authorities in the city of Pune as sluice gates of Khadakwasla dam were opened. These gates were opened as the dams were running over its capacity.

The city of Pune has received moderate rainfall. In the span of 24 hours till 08:30 am this morning, the city received moderate rainfall of 40 mm. On Wednesday, from 08:30 am till 05:30 pm, Pune received a mere 29 mm of rainfall.

But the flood situation may not be vigorous in nature as the rainfall intensity over the city is going to decrease significantly. The off-shore trough which is seen running from South Gujarat to Karnataka coast is going to weaken further.

Till 05:30 pm today, the cumulative rainfall for the city of Pune stands at 90 mm and the monthly normal rainfall is 122.3 mm.

Even with the decrease in rain activity, the civic authorities in Pune city need to be on their toes to avoid any casualties. Check out some of the images of the Khadakwasla dam:
