Latest news on this site

22nd May: Data and graphs updated.  The water level data graph appears to be anomalous
19th May: New page showing NDMA freeboard data added
18th May: Data updated to 17th May, but only estimated due to GLOF.  No data available for seepage due to dangerous conditions on the dam.
17th May:  All graphs and data updated to 16th May.
15th May: All graphs and data updated to 14th May.
13th May 2010: I have revamped the site to make the data presentation more straightforward as we enter the last phase.  Old posts still below. All graphs updated with data from 13th May 2010.  I have also added a new graph of seepage against water depth. 
12th May 2010: Data and graphs updated.  Note increasing seepage rate.  A new seepage point has developed.
10th May 2010: Data and graphs updated.  NDMA have not posted any new data over the weekend (why would they?), so I am using the Focus data to fill the gaps.  I will correct these once the NDMA data are available.  The forecast date range for water reaching the spillway is still 22nd-24th May.
8th May 2010:  Data and graphs updated. 
6th May 2010: Data and graphs updated.  I have changed the calculation date for overtopping to use the 24 hour data as the rate of filling is accelerating markedly.
6th May 2010: Graphs updated.
5th May 2010: Data updated.  Graphs will be updated when NDMA data are available.
4th May 2010 (18:30 UT): Graphs updated to 3rd May 2010.
4th May 2010: Update of data.  Graphs to be updated later in the day.  Note the increase in lake size and it appears that the rate of rise of the water level is increasing.
29th April 2010:  Update of data and all graphs.
28th April 2010: Update of data and most graphs.
27th April 2010:  All data and graphs updated.  NDMA have revised thir freeboard measurement to a value that is similar to that of Focus.  The Focus value is once again being used for the overtopping calculation.
21st April 2010: All data and graphs updated.  New NDMA data are now available for the freeboard, which are now being used for the overtopping calculation.
20th April 2010: The summary data (but not the graphs) have been updated to 19th April 2010.
19th April 2010:  All graphs and data updated to 18th April. Seepage rate and inflow rate are now rising.  
17th April 2010:  All graphs and data updated to 16th April.  Note the reduced rate of water level rise in the last 24 hours.  Reported sounds of subsurface deformation continue to cause real concern at Shishkat and need urgent attention.
16th April 2010: Updated the seepage graph such the y-axis is correct (thanks to Tropical for pointing this out)
16th April 2010: All graphs and data updated to 14th April 
13th April 2010: All graphs and data updated to 11th April 
11th April 2010: I have added a new graph of the rate of rise of the lake level.
