]]> Following heavy rainfall, the water level in the Meghadri Gedda Reservoir in Pendurthi mandal has risen to 57.4 feet. Vizag District Collector M.N. Harendira Prasad and MLA P.G.V.R Naidu (Ganababu) conducted an assessment at the reservoir, which serves as a vital water source for Vizag residents. They reassured the public that despite the reservoir nearing full capacity, there is no need for concern, and the surrounding regions are well-maintained. The collector emphasized that the reservoir’s maximum water level is 61 feet and confirmed that the situation remains stable due to lower rainfall in the catchment area on Monday. He advised against swimming in these conditions. Authorities from GVMC have already notified residents of the 89th ward, stressing the importance of swift action. The district collector mentioned the preparedness of irrigation, revenue, and police departments to release water through the reservoir gates to lower-lying areas.

]]> The Srisailam Reservoir is currently receiving significant inflows of 2.18 lakh cusecs, leading to the water level rising to 90.55 tmc-ft by Thursday evening. If this influx persists for a week, the reservoir is expected to reach full capacity. This year, the early arrival of the monsoon in early July, coupled with heavy rainfall in the upper catchment regions of the Krishna River in Karnataka and Maharashtra, has resulted in a notable increase in floodwater inflows. Unlike the previous season when floodwaters arrived on July 29, 2023, this year the reservoir started receiving inflows on July 13, a remarkable 15 days earlier. Normally, the Srisailam Reservoir witnesses its initial inflows in June or July, but this year, the district experienced above-average rainfall with 140 mm in June and 90.70 mm in July, compared to the usual 77.20 mm and 54.90 mm, respectively.

The flood inflow into the reservoir is progressively rising, with a current flow of 2,18,406 cusecs from Jurala and Sunkesula reservoirs. Additionally, 31,784 cusecs are being discharged through power generation from the left bank. The reservoir’s maximum storage level is 885 feet, while the present water level stands at 854.90 feet. With a total storage capacity of 215.80 tmc, the reservoir currently holds 90.55 tmc ft of water.
