Proactive Water Management Amid Heavy Rainfall

The Mettur Dam in Tamil Nadu has reached its full capacity of 120 feet, a significant rise from 44.62 feet two weeks earlier, due to substantial water releases from Karnataka's Krishna Raja Sagara and Kabini dams. Similarly, Maharashtra's Medigadda and Gosikhurd dams are under close watch due to heavy rainfall, with advance notices being requested for water discharges to prevent potential flooding. In Kerala, several dams including Moozhiyar and Mattupetty are on red alert, leading to controlled water releases. Amidst the ongoing rainy season, the Khadakwasla Dam in Pune has also reached full capacity, causing significant water discharge into the Mutha River. In response to fluctuating water levels, India's government is considering cloud seeding to ensure adequate water supply, particularly in dry regions like Kedah and Perak. These measures underscore the importance of proactive water management amid changing weather patterns and climate variability.
