Tamil Nadu seeks Krishna water to be released by May

TextEditorThe State government has requested the Andhra Pradesh government to release Krishna water from Kandaleru reservoir by May first week. This is to augment declining storage in city reservoirs in summer.

Officials of the Water Resources Department said loss of resources in reservoirs was on the rise due to evaporation and spike in day temperature in April. On an average, the five reservoirs, which supply drinking water to the city, are losing nearly 180 cusecs (cubic feet per second) of water due to evaporation daily. This quantum is equal to water being drawn from the Red Hills reservoir every day.
