The initial arrival of the monsoon with torrential rains in Kodag and Chikkamagalur in Karnataka and Wayanad in Kerala expanded the inflow of water into the main reservoirs in the basin in the State.
These are the first days of the advent of the monsoon, but the tanks in the lower areas of the main rivers are recorded by the abundant tide, including in the Krishnaraja Sagar district in the Mandya district, Hemavathi in the Hassan and Kabini district.
The tide to KRS was 19 129 CUSEC on Tuesday compared to 2053 CUSEC 24 hours earlier. The reason is the continuous rains that pounded Bhagamandala and the surrounding regions in the Přístřejbin in the Kodag district, which is the Cauverry River Basin. Bhagamandala was flooded due to heavy to very heavy rains for three consecutive days from Sunday. While on Sunday he received 168.2 mm rainfall, the rainfall recorded on Monday was 225 mm and 112 mm of precipitation was recorded within 24 hours ending 8:30 on Tuesday.
The steady increase in the inflow also led to an increase in water level in the tank, which was 89.35 feet on Monday against a full tank level of 124.80 feet, but on Tuesday it increased to 92 feet at 8 hours. The rough storage in the tank also increased from 15.55 TMC FT. To 17,16 TMC ft. In the same period.
The tide to the cabini reservoir in HD Kote in the Mysur district also increased due to abundant rains in the Wayanad area in Kerala, which is the Kapila River basin. According to the Center for Monitoring of Natural Disasasters in Karnataka (KSNDMC), the tributary to the dam on Monday 21,946 CUSECS was on Monday and Sunday 2683 Cusecs. The reservoir level was 2267.75 feet against FRL 2284 feet.
The level of influx to Hemavathi in Gorur, Hassan, was 17,812 Cusecs on Tuesday, while on Monday it was 9808 CUSECS. The tide spread due to heavy rains in the Hemavathi River Basin in the Chikkamagalur district.
With the early onset of Monsoon, which is also expanded and energetic, storage in tanks is expected to achieve comfortable positions before expected this year. The Indian Meteorological Department predicted heavy to very heavy rains in the districts of Kodag, Chikkamagalur, Hassan and Mysur over the next 48 to 72 hours, helping to keep the tank into the tanks.
