Water Release from Almatti Dam Begins Amid Fluctuating Inflows in Krishna Basin
Reduced rainfall in Maharashtra and Belagavi led to a slight decrease in inflow to the Krishna river and its tributaries, with reservoir levels below full capacity. Following resumed rainfall, the State government directed the release of water from the Almatti dam for kharif crops, increasing outflow significantly. Water release will continue while inflow remains stable, with rationing planned if inflow decreases. Other reservoirs like Raja Lakhamagouda and Renuka Sagar also reported varying inflows and outflows amid ongoing water management.
