Water was released from the Kandaleru reservoir on Monday after much anticipation. The water from the river Krishna has been released after three months. The water will travel 152 kms. It is expected to reach Uthukottai in Tiruvallur district late Thursday or early Friday.
‘About 200 cubic feet per second (cusec) was released around 4 p.m. Initially, only a minimal amount of water will be released as a warning against allowing cattle in the canal bed. We expect the amount to be stepped up to 400 cusecs by Tuesday and finally, up to 1,000 cusecs. Chennai will receive about 500 cusecs. The rest of the water will be diverted to towns including Tirupathi to meet the requirements there We expect the discharge that has been resumed will boost the storage levels and also improve the drinking water supply to the city’, said an official.
