Steps have been taken to keep water levels in dams and barrages under check with the southwest monsoon around the corner, the Water Resources department said on Friday.
Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine on Friday reviewed the arrangements made by the department ahead of the seasonal rains.
The storage in the 16 dams and four barrages managed by the department is being closely monitored. A blue alert has been issued for the Meenkara dam where the storage is 72%.
