Water Released from Reservoirs to Aid Crops
The government is letting water out of two big water storage places, Nizamsagar and Pocharam, to help farmers.
It hasn't rained much, and the crops like rice and corn need water.

Officials are keeping an eye on how much water is left and will ask for more if needed.
