Water levels update across Tamil Nadu's key dams: Papanasam at 90.55 ft, Mullaperiyar around 119 ft, and Manimuthar near 95 ft as rainfall patterns influence release decisions.
Water levels in Tamil Nadu’s key dams are being watched closely as the monsoon pattern shapes inflows and releases across the region. Papanasam dam stood at 90.55 feet on Wednesday, well under its 143-foot maximum, with an inflow of 242.60 cusecs and a discharge of 1,400 cusecs.
Nearby, the Manimuthar dam reported a level of 94.68 feet (its maximum is 118 feet), with an inflow of 97.04 cusecs and a discharge of 495 cusecs.
In Mullaperiyar, readings varied, with the level listed at 119 feet in one update and 118.75 feet in another, underscoring the dynamic nature of dam operations in the area.
These figures help authorities plan water release schedules, manage the supply to nearby towns, and assess flood risk during the current weather pattern.
Officials say rainfall in the catchment areas over the coming days will determine whether releases ramp up or ease, and residents and farmers are urged to stay tuned for official advisories.
