Rains in the local (Telangana) catchment areas as well those in the immediate upstream areas of the Bhima Sub-Basin in Karnataka are set to replenish the storage of Srisailam reservoir at least to some extent as it has fallen below 160 tmc ft against its capacity of 215.8 tmc ft. According to Jurala dam engineers, the inflow into the dam, which was at 25,000 cusecs at 6 a.m. on Tuesday has reached 54,000 cusecs by 6 p.m. and the discharge of flood went up from 16,000 cusecs in the morning to 74,500 cusecs in the evening. The spillway gates were operated after a gap of about three weeks around 2 p.m., when the engineers lifted four crest gates for 1 metre height each to let 16,700 cusecs water into the river from the spillway.
