Srisailam Dam Receives Heavy Inflows Amid Heavy Rains
Heavy rains in nearby states are causing a lot of water to flow into the Srisailam Dam.
The Jurala project is also full, and its water is going to Srisailam.
Because of this, the dam's water level is going up.
The people in charge are letting some water out to manage it.
The dam isn't using its power generators right now.
The officials expect more water to come in, as another nearby reservoir can't hold much more.
Srisailam Dam is receiving heavy inflows due to heavy rains upstream in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Jurala project in Telangana has filled for the second time this season.
Dam authorities have lifted gates and released flood waters downstream.
The Srisailam reservoir is currently holding 89.7132 TMC feet of water.
Irrigation officials anticipate more inflows from the Tungabhadra reservoir.
