KRS and Kabini Reservoirs See Rising Water Levels Amid Heavy Rainfall in Karnataka
Heavy rainfall in south Karnataka has significantly raised water levels in the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) and Kabini reservoirs within the Cauvery basin. The KRS reservoir breached the 100-foot mark on August 3, with inflows exceeding 30,000 cusecs, while Kabini reservoir neared its maximum capacity, prompting controlled water releases. Authorities have issued flood warnings and advised caution for downstream areas as some roads and bridges have been submerged due to increased discharge and river swelling.
