Tungabhadra Dam Storage Limited Due to Gate Repair

Tungabhadra Dam Storage Limited Due to Gate Repair

The Tungabhadra Dam's water storage will be limited this year.

This is because they need to fix a gate that broke last year.

The gate replacement requires them to keep the water level lower than usual.

Experts checked the dam and found that the gates are thinner than they should be.

They are replacing one gate now and planning to replace the others.

This lower water level might affect how much water farmers have for their crops.

They will be working to get everything fixed by next year, so the dam can hold more water again.
