ICIMOD Seminar ‐Kathmandu‐ Dec.3‐4, 2013
MAHAKALI FLOOD‐ JUNE 2013
Case Study Presented by:
Prakash Paudel
General Interpretation(Common Flooding Process adapted from USAC Report)
• Heavy Rainfall and Cloudburst in the area• Melting of Glacier to add run‐off• Heavy land erosion, slides and mass‐movement insaturated fragile geology
• Heavily loaded water flow (flood) triggeringfurther devastation
• More loss in Unprotected area and low levelsettlement while protected area more Safe
• Failure or opening of Water body add to moreflooding and devastation

Mahakali Catchment1. Length of the River: 233 Km.2. Tributaries:
India: Dhauli Ganga, Gori, Ram GangaNepal: Chamelia , Surnaya & Rangun
3. Catchment area: 15260 sq.km. India: 9943 sq.km.; Nepal: 5317 sq.km.
6. Maximum Historical Discharge: 14915 m3/s 7. Average discharge: 557 m3/s8. Average rainfall Intensity: 1891 mm (1990).9. Max. rainfall intensity: 3055 mm (1990).
Extreme Rainfall in the Area
24‐Hr 17‐18 June 2013Monthly Rainfall in Dipayal:June 2013 (221 mm measured on June 18)
Extreme Rainfall & Flood Discharge in the Area in June 2013
• In India, all the 13‐districts of Uttarakhanda State felt Extreme Rainfall in the week June 13‐19, 2013
• In Dipayal, Nepal also 222 mm rainfall was recorded in 24 hr (17‐18 June 2013)
• Flood Discharge in Mahakali River in Sarda Barrage in 17‐18 June 2013 (15430 m3/sec) exceeded the Historical Records (14915 m3/sec in 1934 AD)

The Darchula Disaster• Light rainfall on 17‐Jun Day time• Flood in Mahakali started on Mid‐night 17th
• People in Darchula Khalanga started to evacuate their houses, shops and utilized structures from mid‐night (Tapovan, Bangabazar, Main Bazar, Golphai and Namaskar)
• In the morning Mahakali carried muddy flow full of debris which was deposited on full river width
• Heavy devastation started from morning of 18th
• Flow diverted to Left to enhance Channelization on this side with deposition process on the Right

Observation on Sluice (Spillway) Operation
• Crest of Sluice Gates are 46.5 m. below Pond Leveland 28.0 m. below the minimum operating level
• Sluice Gates have full capacity to discharge thedesign flood of the river viz. 3210 Cu. m. / sec
• The Project broucher (POYRY) explains that the gatedSpillway or the Sluices are designed“……. to efficient flushing (of sediment) from thereservoir during periods of flood.”
• Hence when the reservoir is having excess water orsediment, the Sluice Gates are normally opened
Er. Prakash Paudel
Impression on Flood Event
• On the day of heavy rainfall, the soil of the areacrossed the limit of Saturation and failed stability,hence started falling down along with Water
• Like other rivers, Dhauliganga carried larger amountof heavy sediment and debris entering the reservoir
• In Dhauliganga Dam Power channel was closed andSluices were opened on the day to flush out theSediment during filling of the Reservoir
• The river Dhauliganga combined with main Mahakaliriver in Tawaghat which ultimately triggered Darchula

Status of Records, Analysis & Communication
• Less attention paid to this area regarding analysis of Rainfall data & Flood forecasting
• No Hydrological Stations established on middle & upper part of Mahakali (Nepal)
• Flood data managed by India in Tanakpur/Banbasa• No on‐time data sharing mechanism between Nepal & India
• Very poor information sharing system between stake holders inside the country
• Poor lesson learning practice and less public‐awareness
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Real time data mechanism for Mahakali and its major Tributaries
2. Real Time Data accessible to the Stakeholders3. The flood forecasting & Information mechanism4. Effective Warning system & Awareness Program5. Legal provision & Practical action against River
Encroachment6. Committed Master (Action) Plan by the
Government with adequate shared resources
