Incessant rainfall added to the inflow into various reservoirs in the North Karnataka region leading to a slight increase in the outflow from various dams and barrages, particularly in Belagavi district, on Sunday.
As there has been an increase in rainfall at the Patgaon dam site, there is a gradual increase in the water level of the Vedaganga. According to officials, if it continues to rain in the same way, then flooding might happen.
Like Saturday, water flow in the Krishna and its tributaries continued to stay beyond 75,000 cusecs on Sunday too. The 11 submerged barrages in the Chikkodi-Nippani region continue to remain submerged. Traffic on these barrages has been diverted. High alert has been sounded for villages downstream.
