Prakasam Barrage Discharges Floodwater as Inflows Surge

Heavy rain caused a lot of water to flow into the Prakasam Barrage.

This water came from dams upstream on the Krishna River.

To prevent flooding and keep the barrage safe, officials opened 69 gates to release the excess water into the sea.

They also diverted a small amount to canals.

Water levels at the barrage are being carefully monitored, and the high inflow of water is expected to continue for some time.

The Srisailam, Nagarjuna Sagar, and Pulichintala projects are also managing large volumes of water.
