Krishna water inflow likely to pick up amid declining storage in city’s reservoirs
Krishna water inflow to Chennai is expected to increase in the coming days, aiding in the declining storage of the city's reservoirs. The supply from the Kandaleru reservoir has resumed after maintenance, but current inflow remains low. Officials are monitoring the situation and anticipate improvements to meet the city's water demand.
- ▪Krishna water inflow is currently low at 70 cubic feet per second.
- ▪Chennai requires about 4,000 million cubic feet of water as per the inter-State agreement with Andhra Pradesh.
- ▪The combined storage of Chennai's five major reservoirs is approximately 6,552 million cubic feet, which is 56% of total capacity.
