Overview

• Krishna Raja Sagar dam reached its full level of 124.8 ft in June for the first time since 1958, marking the earliest June fill on record after sustained monsoon inflows.
• Srisailam reservoir storage doubled to 152.49 tmc ft, four times last year’s June volume, with inflows peaking at 144,806 cusecs on June 30.
• Operators at Kabini and Basavasagar reservoirs have kept outflows at or above inflow rates to maintain safety buffers and protect downstream communities.
• Tamil Nadu Public Works Department opened all 13 spillway shutters at Mullaperiyar dam once water crossed the 136 ft rule-curve threshold.
• Urban water supply dams rose to half capacity in Pune and 47.4% in Nashik, and staggered releases continue under disaster-management alerts ahead of further rain.
