Krishna water reaches State border
The Hindu
It is expected to improve declining storage in city reservoirs
Krishna water discharged from Andhra Pradesh on Monday reached the State’s border in Uthukottai on Wednesday. This will improve the declining storage in the reservoirs that provide drinking water to Chennai. Initially, about 150 cusecs (cubic feet per second) of water reached the entry point of Kandaleru-Poondi canal in Uthukottai, Tiruvallur district. Officials of the Water Resources Department noted that the quantity of water realised at the State’s border had increased to 200 cusecs by noon. On Wednesday, water discharged at Kandaleru reservoir in Andhra Pradesh was stepped up to 2,100 cusecs so that about 500 cusecs could be provided to Chennai. “We expect the water release to be gradually increased so that we receive 500 cusecs. Water will travel for another 25 km and reach Poondi reservoir by Wednesday evening,” said an official.
