Following increased inflow into the Almatti dam, owing to heavy rain in the Krishna basin and in the Western Ghats, Krishna Bhagya Jal Nigam Ltd. authorities have started discharging water from the dam.
On Thursday, inflow was at the rate of 67,004 cusecs and discharge was 27,710 cusecs to Narayanapura dam. With this, power generation, stopped in March, has resumed.
On Wednesday, the four units generated 170 MW of power.
However, farmers are still worried as water levels are lower when compared to last year. By July 15 last year, Almatti and Narayanpur reservoirs had filled up.
