KRS water level touches 120 ft, Suttur bridge getting submerged

July 13, 2018

Mandya: Heavy rain in the Cauvery catchment areas has left all the reservoirs in the region almost brimming. The KRS reservoir has reached 120.20 ft with only 4.6 ft left for it to touch the maximum level of 124.80 ft.

With heavy inflow into the dam, the water level has increased by over 12 ft in the last four days. If the heavy inflow continues, the dam is expected to reach the maximum level in a day or two.

Kabini Dam in H.D.Kote has reached its maximum level and the outflow has been increased as a safety measure.

Harangi Dam level this morning stood at 2857.12 ft as against the  maximum level of 2,859 ft.

Suttur-Mysuru bridge and watching Kapila River in full spate after five years.

With heavy discharge from the Kabini Dam, a bridge near Suttur that connects Suttur and Mysuru is just one feet away from getting submerged. The water touching the bridge is a sight to behold as hundreds of villagers are coming there to see the Kapila River in full spate.

    Hatts off to varunadeva and chamundeswari Devi let everyone be prosperous

    I appreciate the new CM for his unrelenting faith in God. An issue that was rocking both the states has become nothing once the skies had opened. Politicians should stop meddling with water issues anymore.

  3. Lakshiminarayana says:

    The CM is a god fearing man and important temples are in villages covered by Cauvery canals in Tamil nadu.Srirangam the abode of Sriranganatha with Cauvery overflowing and lakhs of devotees bathing was a scintillating experience.Shri Kumaraswamy visiting Srirangam and offering prayers followed with unusual rains in Cauvery catchment area is a good omen for his Government.Humans forget God in their avarice to satisfy their greed and ignore the centuries old practice and grandeur.SLN

    The world is happy about the KRS being filled up, please spare a thought for the catchment areas facing the brunt of the rains….the least the honourable CM can do is show some concern towards the effected districts

  5. Venugopal says:

    May the tenure of HDKumarswamy be remembered by every one as a his fearing person and friendly to farmers. Respecting the Rivers and streams by offering Bhagine is our tradition and custom which has kept Karnataka a rich state. May goddess Chamundeswari bless him and its children always.
