What happened
The Srisailam Reservoir received major inflows following heavy monsoon rains in Karnataka, which recorded substantial rainfall in the Krishna River catchment. Authorities at the Almatti and Narayanpur dams released excess water downstream, which passed through Telangana’s Jurala Project before entering Srisailam. The reservoir currently holds 43.683 TMC against a gross capacity of 215.807 TMC, with 1,600 cusecs being released through the MGKLI canal.
