Rainfall in some areas and release of water from Maharashtra have led to an increase in inflow in most of the reservoirs on the Krishna in Belagavi district on Thursday. There were no reports, however, of loss of human life or livestock or damage to property or crops anywhere.
Maharashtra released around 13,000 cusecs of water into the Pancha Ganga from Radha Nagari Reservoir by Thursday evening. Irrigation officials said that the volume can go up as it continued to rain in Western Maharashtra, the river’s catchment area.
Pancha Ganga is one of the five tributaries of the Krishna. As per old estimates, according to officials, water enters villages when the release crosses one lakh cusecs in a day.
