Karnataka monsoon: Major dams less than half full amid 34% rainfall deficit | Bangalore News
Karnataka's reservoirs are experiencing low water levels, significantly below last year's levels. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre reported that while the gross capacity of 14 major reservoirs is 895.65 TMC, the current storage is only 212.9 TMC. Inflows to some reservoirs have increased due to recent rainfall in specific regions, but key dams like Krishnarajasagar and Kabini remain significantly below their full capacities. Despite a deficit of 34% during the monsoon season, forecasts predict improved rainfall in the coming days.
