Koodige, Sept. 29: Although water has been released into the river and canals at a rate of only 50 cusecs (cubic feet per second) from the Harangi Dam—a major dam in the district—over the past week, the current storage stands at 5.4 TMC (thousand million cubic feet). On this same day last year, the storage level was 7.5 TMC.
The dam's original maximum storage capacity is 8.5 TMC. However, due to factors such as siltation, the current maximum capacity—or 'gross capacity'—stands at 6.2 TMC. Of this, 5.4 TMC of water is currently stored, with 50 cusecs being released into the river and canals. This release rate has been maintained since September 23. Prior to September 20, water was being released at rates of 500 cusecs into the river and 1,100 cusecs into the canals.
