The Chalakudy River Protection Council has urged authorities to take flood protection measures on the river before the monsoons. Noting that many regions along the river faced the floods in 2018 and 2019, the Council proposed measures to reduce the impact. of possible flooding from heavy rainfall. “Interested local authorities should collect data on houses that could be affected by a flood situation.
Information on households and regions affected by the floods should also be collected at the Block Panchayat level. 24-hour controls in flood areas. receive data on the water level in dams and the amount of water released at regular intervals. The impact of the floods can be assessed by including the house and survey numbers on the village-level cadastral map, he said.The authorities must ensure that no water enters the Peringalkuthu Dam as a result of a flood. They must provide a suitable flood cushion in the dams above Peringalkuthu to reduce the effects of the flooding. The control zone is the temporary storage space to accommodate high runoffs in order to mitigate flood damage downstream.
