Bhubaneswar: The flood situation in Odisha has improved “significantly”, with water levels in major rivers steadily declining and no fresh rainfall reported in the Mahanadi catchment, Engineer-in-Chief (Water Resources) Dilip Raut said Monday. “The absence of rainfall in both the upper and lower reaches of the Mahanadi basin has significantly reduced the immediate flood risk across the state. Authorities are now focused on regulating reservoir levels and restoring damaged flood-control infrastructure,” Rout said. Around 3.03 lakh cusecs of water is currently being discharged from the dam, while the flow at Mundali has been recorded at 5.82 lakh cusecs, Raut said. On the weather outlook, Raut said some international forecasting models indicate the possibility of another spell of rainfall after August 5.
