Srisailam Reservoir Faces Heavy Inflows, Gate Operations Initiated
The Srisailam reservoir is getting a lot of water from nearby areas.
Because so much water is coming in, the authorities have opened a gate to let some of it out.
The reservoir is not yet full, but officials are keeping a close watch on water levels and managing the flow of water.
Srisailam reservoir receives 1,85,034 cusecs inflow.
One radial crest gate lifted due to heavy inflows.
Water released downstream is 1,27,976 cusecs.
The reservoir holds 199 TMC feet against a 215 TMC feet capacity.
Inflows come from Jurala, Sunkesula, and upper catchment areas.
