The Srisailam dam is filling up with water thanks to the monsoon rains.
In the last ten days, the amount of water in the dam has doubled.
Now, it holds a lot more water than it did last year.
Experts are also checking to see if a special area near the dam, called a plunge pool, is causing any damage.
They're using underwater cameras to look at it and will make a report.
