It continued to rain heavily in Belagavi and in parts of Maharashtra that form the catchment area of the Krishna and its tributaries on Tuesday.
Irrigation Department officials said that the total release of water from Maharashtra was just 2,335 cusecs. However, the discharge at Kallol Barrage was 98,995 cusecs. This is due to heavy rainfall in the catchment areas.
Due to heavy inflow into the Alamatti Reservoir, officials increased the outflow to one lakh cusecs, (nearly one tmcft) by Tuesday afternoon.
