Cauvery water to be released from Mettur dam on August 2

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa has ordered the public works department to open the shutters of Mettur dam on August 2, instead of the earlier scheduled date of August 12, since the reservoir is expected to reach the full storage level of 120 feet by August 3.

The inflow into Mettur has increased by 14tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) thanks to the heavy rains lashing the catchment areas of the Cauvery river in Karnataka. Karnataka has released the surplus water of about 90,000 cusecs (cubic feet per second) in the last two days.

Jayalalithaa ordered the release of 4,000 cusecs of water in addition to the 6,000 cusecs of water being released for drinking water schemes and Aadi Perukku, a religious festival celebrated on the banks of the Cauvery. "Keeping in mind the preparatory works for samba crop in the delta districts, Mettur reservoir will be opened from August 2," she said.
