Mandya: Water can be released into the canal only if water level at KRS (Krishna Raja Sagar) dam touches 96 feet, said Deputy Commissioner (DC) N. Manjushri.
She was addressing a progress review meeting of different departments chaired by District-in-charge Secretary Javed Akthar at the Cauvery Auditorium in the Zilla Panchayat office here on Tuesday and said right now the water level at the dam is 85 feet (today’s water level is 86.10 feet) and this water can be used only for drinking purposes. If this water is used for crops then it will affect water for drinking and hence this method is being adopted, she added.
