Srisailam Reservoir Releases Water Due to Flood Inflows
Imagine a big water storage tank called Srisailam.
A lot of water is coming in from other rivers and reservoirs because of floods.
To prevent the tank from overflowing, the people in charge are letting water out through the gates.
This water then flows to another reservoir.
The water level is high, but there's still room in the tank.
They're keeping a close watch on how much water is coming in and out.
Srisailam reservoir receives significant flood inflows.
Eight spillway gates are open to release water.
Water is released towards Nagarjunasagar.
The reservoir's current water level is 882.80 feet.
The reservoir's storage is at 203.42 TMC.
