Floods due to Bhima River :
Bhima river meets the Kukadi river near Daund. Bhima river has many tributaries
such as Mula, Mutha, Indrayani and Ghod in Pune district. It has about 17 dams’ structures
on the upside. The water flow is from each one of them. On the down stream side there is a
dam called Ujani-Dam near Pandharpur. The backwater in Ujani dam rises above HFL
resulting into floods. The control point for flood forecast in Bhima river is at Daund. The
villages likely to be affected by floods for various discharge levels in the river at Daund are
shown in the enclosed charts.
Ahmednagar district had to make lot of preparations every year to mitigate the effect of
floods and save life and property. Even though the maximum inflow in Ujani reservoir in
estimated to be to the tune of 8,00,000 cusses and outflow from 41 gates from its spillway to
the 6,34,000 cusses. Practically it is not possible to release there much water as down stream
of the Ujani Dam. For example, in year 1997 discharge of about 2,75,000 cusses from Ujani
and simultaneous discharge of 1,00,000 cusses from Nira river posed sever threat of flood to
Pandharpur town. This result into storing of water in Ujani Dam above HFL between the
free board area resulting it to flood danger in greater magnitude that designed.
