Heavy Rainfall Increases Flood Flow to Nagarjuna Sagar
Heavy rain is causing a lot of water to flow into the Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir.
Because of this, officials have opened some of the gates to let water out, like opening a faucet to prevent the water from overflowing.
The amount of water flowing in is very high, and they are watching to make sure everything stays under control.
Flood flow to Nagarjuna Sagar has increased due to heavy upstream rainfall.
Authorities have lifted 26 gates to release water downstream.
Current inflow to the project is 10 lakh cusecs.
Outflow from the reservoir is 4.06 lakh cusecs.
The reservoir currently holds 294.55 TMC of water.
