Kushalnagar: Water level at Harangi Dam in Kodagu is slowly depleting. From its maximum capacity of 8.5 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet), the Dam level presently stands at 3.3 tmcft.
The alarming depletion of water in Harangi has caused concern among residents of Kushalnagar, Koodige and surrounding areas who fear that they will face severe water shortage in 2019 peak summer season. Ironically, it is the same Kushalnagar that was fed up with water when it was literally submerged as maximum water was released from the Harangi Dam in August and early September this year.
