Yamuna River Water Level Reaches Danger Mark in Delhi-NCR Amid Heavy Rainfall
The water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi-NCR has once again risen above the danger mark due to incessant rainfall in the region. As of Thursday afternoon, the water level reached 205.98 meters, surpassing the danger mark of 205.33 meters. This has raised concerns about a potential flood situation in the national capital and its adjoining areas.
Earlier in the day, at 10:00 am, officials recorded the water level at 205.83 meters. Consequently, low-lying and flood-prone areas of Noida, including Ecotech 3, have been flooded. Distressing visuals depicted vehicles stranded in the submerged region.
This recent increase in the water level follows a period of receding water, during which the Yamuna River had dropped below the danger mark on Tuesday, measuring 205.32 meters at 7 pm. However, since then, heavy rainfall has caused the water level to rise once again.
Notably, the Yamuna River had reached its highest recorded level of 208.66 meters on July 13, leading to widespread flooding and destruction in the region. The water level had been hovering around the danger mark for the past few days before this recent surge.
In addition to the Yamuna River, the Hindon River in the NCR region has also witnessed a rise in water level, resulting in flooding in several areas with low-lying and flood plains.
The current situation has put the authorities on high alert and has necessitated immediate measures to ensure the safety of residents in the affected areas. Efforts are being made to provide relief and assistance to those who have been affected by the flooding.
It is crucial to address these recurring floods and find long-term solutions to prevent such situations in the future. Proper water management and infrastructure development are essential to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall and prevent the loss of life and property.
As the situation develops, it is hoped that the water level will gradually recede, bringing relief to the flood-affected areas. However, until then, it is crucial for residents in these regions to exercise caution, avoid venturing into flooded areas, and follow the instructions of local authorities to ensure their safety.
The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to take swift action to address any challenges that arise. With the cooperation and support of the public, it is hoped that the impact of these floods can be minimized, and the affected areas can recover swiftly.
Stay tuned for further updates on the water level and the efforts being undertaken to manage the situation effectively.
