Rivers at minor flood in the south

A separate DMC and Irrigation Department report on Friday said most of Sri Lanka's major rivers were at normal levels, but the Gin Ganga at Baddegama was at minor flood (4.18 metres), and the Nilwala Ganga was at minor flood at Thalgahagoda (1.86 metres, rising, after 47.6 mm of rain) and Panadugama (6.31 metres, falling, after 44.1 mm). Pitabeddara recorded the highest rainfall in that basin, 75.3 mm, the Kuda Ganga at Kalawellawa (Millakanda) was on alert at 6.08 metres, and the Walawe Ganga at Moraketiya was also on alert.

The regional picture matches the India Meteorological Department's South Asia flash flood guidance of November 12, which recorded rainfall of up to 175 mm in 24 hours over some watersheds in southern Sri Lanka, forecast heavy rain of up to 100 mm in the following 24 hours, and put a low-to-moderate flash flood risk over parts of the south.

The DMC said it continues to monitor conditions, with emergency hotlines 117, 0112670002 and 0112136136 open for public assistance. Friday's report — authorised by GIS Analyst and Duty Officer Cheshani Malavipathirana for the Director General — covered damage from floods, high winds, tree falls and cutting failures across the Southern, Eastern, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Western, North Central, Northern and North Western provinces. What happens next depends on the next 24 hours of rain in the south, where two rivers are already at minor flood and more heavy rain was forecast.
