Flood control releases are not just an impressive display; they provide incredible benefits to California communities. Yesterday, DWR began required flood control releases using Oroville Dam’s main spillway. However, with reduced runoff levels and drier conditions in the forecast, DWR will be reducing outflows through the coming week. Some...

With this week’s storms, California is taking advantage of opportunities to capture and store water that supports the state’s long-term water supply goals — made possible through strong partnerships between the state and local agencies. These collaborations are central to Governor Newsom’s California Water Supply Strategy, Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future, which focuses on expanding the state’s ability to capture water from winter storms and adapt to increasingly extreme weather driven by climate change. Across California, projects like these are helping turn stormwater into a resource: •The Lower Elkhorn Basin Levee Setback Project consists of seven miles of new levee, set back about 1,500-feet from a pre-existing levee. Completed in October 2023, the new levee expanded bypass capacity to increase the level of flood protection to the urban Sacramento area, and it created a beneficial habitat for native fish. This project was identified in the 2012 and 2017 Central Valley Flood Protection Plans. (Check out the Dec. 19-26 time lapse video here!) •The Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration Project is another important project with a specific floodplain component. In addition to the restoration of important tidal wetland habitat for native fish, the project expanded conveyance for the Yolo Bypass by creating 40,000 acre-feet of flood storage to prevent dangerous flooding and protect neighboring communities and infrastructure. •San Joaquin Valley flood-managed recharge projects capture high flows during storm events and direct them onto farmland and recharge basins to replenish overdrafted aquifers. •Los Angeles Basin stormwater capture efforts divert stormwater from rivers and channels into recharge facilities that supply groundwater for millions of residents. California will continue working with local partners to capture water when it’s available — helping build a more resilient water future for communities, agriculture, and the environment. #California #Water #Flood #Rain #Storm

The Integrated Control Room for Emergency Response (ICR-ER), National Database for Emergency Management Lite 2.0 (NDEM Lite 2.0), and Flood Hazard Zonation Atlas of Assam, launched today, will equip our disaster management apparatus with the speed and precision of the new age technologies. The ICR-ER will prompt real-time response to disaster across the nation by streaming satellite data to rescue agencies, and the NDEM Lite 2.0 will provide our response forces spread across nooks and corners with the agility to confront any calamity as a single unit. The atlas of Assam will guide our flood control authorities to realize the goal of flood mitigation by providing them with the instant data related to floods, their impact, and water levels in rivers.

The Ige Bridge, our longest hydraulic control structure on the Aboru project, has just been baptized by flood—with no spillover to the community. This milestone not only validates our robust flood control measures but also underscores our commitment to a cleaner Lagos, as evidenced by the clear, styrofoam-free runoff. Such achievements remind us that thoughtful, innovative infrastructure can transform challenges into opportunities for resilience and sustainability. #GreaterLagosRising

The Leona River is on the rise in Uvalde, and the water is still climbing. Mandatory evacuations have already been ordered in some areas as floodwaters continue to surge. This isn’t just a Leona River story. Rivers across South Texas, including the Nueces, Frio, Sabinal, and Oasis, are surging toward major flood stage. Some forecast crests could challenge or exceed records, and the National Weather Service warns the flooding is far from over. For many communities across this part of Texas, these are the highest water levels they’ve seen since the devastating floods of the 1990s, and in some places, not since the late 1970s. It’s another reminder that in Texas’ Flash Flood Alley, rivers can transform from quiet streams into life-threatening torrents with astonishing speed. Stay with The Weather Channel for continuing coverage as this dangerous flood event unfolds.

St. Petersburg prepares for the worst flood in 160 years Water levels in the Neva River continue to rise. The city has declared a yellow level of danger and issued a storm warning. Winds are reaching 20-25 m/s, toppling trees and structures. Dams are closed, and water levels outside the dams have exceeded 180 cm. In Sestroretsk, the Dubki Park has been flooded, and lightning struck the Lakhta Center. If the dams hadn't been closed, the flood would have already hit the city. VK Fest is also at risk: the water is reaching the main stage, and it could be washed into the Gulf of Finland. This historic flood may repeat after 160 years — the last July flood occurred in 1865.

Senators should also interpellate former DPWH Secretary and now Senator Mark Villar Another hypocrite in the upper house! Yesterday in the hearing, the former DPWH Secretary and now Senator Mark Villar dared to talk about the importance of following the flood control masterplan. The very next day, another former DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson revealed that they were able to complete the Php 351 billion flood control masterplan — but the succeeding administration did not follow through. The Duterte administration wanted to erase the Aquino legacy so much, they are willing to waste public funds by ignoring the flood control masterplan that is a product of numerous studies, consultations etc. Not just that… Undersecretary Claire Castro revealed that no DPWH masterplan was turned over to the current administration.

This may come as a shock to a lot of people… but this woman and her family intentionally flood their entire backyard to water their trees and grass. It’s called flood irrigation — they literally let the whole yard fill up with water on purpose. She walks through and shows just how full it gets, and says people are always surprised this is how they do it. The water is untreated canal water (not city drinking water) that’s specifically allocated for this purpose. Have you ever seen (or used) flood irrigation like this? I've never seen or heard of this before.

Over the weekend, DWR Watershed Protection Specialists worked closely with our State and local partners including over 400 California Conservation Corps members, LA County Public Works, and California Governor's Office of Emergency Services to stabilize burn scars to protect watersheds in downstream communities and guard storm drain systems from ash and debris. The teams staged and placed approximately 15,000 units of k-rail, 700,000 linear feet of compost socks, and 50,000 gravel bags to prepare for incoming wet weather and safeguard the Los Angeles community. #California #Wildfires #Watershed #LosAngeles

LACSON WON'T SUMMON ZALDY CO WATCH: In an interview with reporters on Wednesday, Sen. Panfilo Lacson thumbed down the possibility of inviting Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co to the Senate inquiry into the flood control scandal. Citing inter-parliamentary courtesy between the Senate and the House of Representatives, Lacson said it may not be proper to summon Co, but said the embattled lawmaker may voluntarily testify after he was accused by three former DPWH Bulacan engineers of receiving kickbacks from flood control projects.

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ RUSSIA EXPLODED DAM ❗️❗️The 🇷🇺 occupiers openly declare, in writingC that they have destroyed the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric plant. If this is really true and the dam is destroyed, it threatens to flood everything downstream, including Kherson, hundreds of thousands of people will be affected, and Crimea will remain without water for at least 10-15 years. We are waiting for information from our side.

🚨 “THIS AIN’T JUST HURRICANE MELISSA… THIS IS OPERATION POPEYE.” A viral clip out of Jamaica is blowing up as a local man claims the storm hammering the island isn’t natural at all, but part of a U.S. weather control program first used during the Vietnam War to seed clouds and flood enemy routes. He says Melissa’s been “too still, too obedient” and that all the military ships crowding the Caribbean aren’t there for aid… they’re there for control. According to him, the talk of oil and minerals is just a red herring. The real war? “Once they have their banking system in your country, it doesn’t matter who your Prime Minister is those same families control your country.” He warns this isn’t about weather, it’s about empires. “Putin is the new Hannibal. America is the new Rome. And the war’s coming home to the West.” The collapse starts inside first with the economy, the unrest, the fear, and then the flood. If they can control the weather… what makes you think they can’t control everything else?

#WATCH | Yamuna River is bound to overflow its banks when the water goes up to this level. The 'nalas' around Yamuna are also filled with water, because of which the areas around Yamuna, especially ISBT, Ring Road, and ITO are facing waterlogging. Humans cannot control the flow of the water. We are constantly in touch with Haryana to ensure that they release the least amount of water so that the situation doesn't get worse. We are evacuating people in water-logged areas and transferring them to relief camps...Water has also entered several roads in Delhi as well. The PWD has closed such roads, says PWD (Public Works Department) Minister Atishi on flood-like conditions in Delhi
