Mysore/Mysuru: Heavy rainfall in Kodagu district, the catchment area of the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam, has triggered a sharp rise in reservoir levels, now nearing full storage capacity. In response, authorities have begun releasing surplus water into the Cauvery River, with the outflow increasing steadily.
At 8 am today (Aug. 18), the cumulative outflow was 47,000 cusecs, which rose to 70,000 cusecs by 10 am and 80,000 cusecs by 11 am.
