The water level in Godavari is rising and the flood level at Bhadrachalam was recorded at 33.8 feet by 3 p.m on Sunday. The flood level may cross the first warning level of 43 feet by tonight, said the Central Water Commission (CWC) officials.
"Due to incessant rains in the catchment areas in Telangana, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, water level is rising every hour,” the authorities said.
As the release of flood water from Sripada Yallampalli Project and Laxmi Barrage, water level at Bhadrachalam is rising. Forecast for the next few hours is it will be steadily rising, the officials said.
