🌊 Flooding in Odisha: Understanding the Local Crisis

Odisha is one of India’s most flood-prone states due to its extensive river systems, cyclone-prone coastline, and monsoon dependency. The repeated occurrence of floods disrupts lives, damages critical infrastructure, ruins crops, and contaminates water sources.

⚠️ Key Flood-Prone Challenges in Odisha:

• Coastal Flooding from Cyclones
  Districts like Puri, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur, and Kendrapara frequently suffer from storm surges and sea water intrusion during cyclonic events.
• Riverine Flooding from Mahanadi and Subarnarekha Rivers
  Rivers breaching embankments lead to submergence of agricultural land and displacement in regions like Cuttack, Jajpur, and Bhadrak.
• Urban Flooding in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack
  Rapid urbanization without adequate drainage leads to severe waterlogging and infrastructural stress.
• Inadequate Drainage and Encroachment
  Poor maintenance of canals, siltation in river beds, and encroachment on natural waterways exacerbate flood risks.
