IMD’s forecast for eastern zone indicates rain and thundershowers at most places in Orissa. Morning's low pressure area over Gangetic West Bengal and its neighborhood persists. It’s associated upper air cyclonic circulation extends up to mid-tropospheric level. Heavy rainfall is likely to occur at few places in Orissa.and enhanced rainfall activity has been predicted to continue over the next 48 hours. - Source of Information: Indian Meteorological Department, Bhubaneswar There will be an increase in the water level (WL) due to high tides in the sea level at Paradip, where Mahanadi flows into the Bay of Bengal and due to moderate rainfall in the last 24 hours. This increase in the WL of the sea will have an impact by slowing down the flow of Mahanadi River, thereby increasing the volume and consequently the WL in the river system. There 1 ORISSA FLOOD SITREP 2nd September 2003, 00 hrs is every possibility of a heightened threat to the areas along the river namely Jagatsingpur, Kendrapada, and Puri.

Diffusion typically takes a number of years, scarcely reaches a level of 100% of the potential adopters’ population and mostly follows S-shaped curve in time. Apparently, some farmers choose to be the first users while others prefer to be early adopters or late adopters, some prefers not to adopt.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative variations in microscopic plant organic matter assemblages and its preservation state in deltaic channel deposits of Mahanadi River was correlated with the depositional environment in the ecosystem in order to prepare a modern analogue for use in palaeoenvironment studies. For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.
