The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Heavy rainfall in the Cauvery basin has pushed water levels in Karnataka's KRS and Kabini reservoirs sharply upward, with Kabini nearly at its maximum level and KRS at 98.8 ft. against its full level of 124.8 ft.
- Authorities are releasing large quantities of water, including 25,000 cusecs from the Kabini dam, which has submerged a low-level bridge and cut off connectivity to some nearby villages.
- A flood warning has been issued for residents in low-lying downstream areas, and submerged roads in Kodagu district have prompted advisories to use alternative routes.
- Separately, Tamil Nadu has moved the Supreme Court against Karnataka in the ongoing Cauvery water dispute.
