CHENNAI, JULY 28

With the Mettur Dam in Salem filling up fast following heavy inflows from Karnataka, the Tamil Nadu government on Sunday directed the release of water from the reservoir to cater to the Cauvery delta districts in the state.

கர்நாடக மாநிலத்திலுள்ள காவிரி நீர்பிடிப்புப் பகுதிகளில் பெருமழை பொழிந்து உபரி நீர் வரத்து உயர்ந்துள்ளதால், மேட்டூர் அணையிலிருந்து நீரை திறந்து விடுவது குறித்தும், மேற்கொள்ளப்பட வேண்டிய முன்னெச்சரிக்கை நடவடிக்கைகள் குறித்தும் மாண்புமிகு முதலமைச்சர் @mkstalin அவர்கள் தலைமையில்… pic.twitter.com/gqDhC7r0kB

Chief Minister M K Stalin chaired a meeting attended by Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan, among others, and top officials here to review the situation.

  • The Chief Minister directed the release of water from Mettur Dam 3 pm onwards on Sunday to irrigate the short-term standing ‘kuruvai’ crops, which would also enable people to celebrate the ‘Aadiperukku’ festival
  • Heavy rains in the Cauvery’s catchment areas led Karnataka to release 1.48 lakh cusecs of excess water, raising Mettur Dam’s water level to 109.20 ft
  • The Tamil Nadu government held an all-party meeting and decided to approach the Supreme Court if necessary.

The release of water from the Mettur Dam, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of July, had to be postponed as water from Karnataka was not released. Tamil Nadu raised objections after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah decided not to release the amount of water recommended by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA), citing a lack of rainfall.

கர்நாடக மாநிலத்திலுள்ள காவிரி நீர்பிடிப்புப் பகுதிகளில் பெருமழை பொழிந்து உபரி நீர் ஆற்றில் திறந்து விடப்பட்டுள்ளதால், இதனை முறையாகப் பயன்படுத்துவதற்கும், ஏரிகள் மற்றும் கண்மாய்களில் சேமிப்பதற்கும் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட வேண்டிய முன்னெச்சரிக்கை நடவடிக்கைகள் குறித்தும் டெல்டா மாவட்ட ஆட்சித்… pic.twitter.com/Dc9E0eT5vP

The Tamil Nadu government held an all-party meeting and decided to approach the Supreme Court if necessary.

Heavy rains in the Cauvery’s catchment areas led Karnataka to release 1.48 lakh cusecs of excess water, raising Mettur Dam’s water level to 109.20 ft, according to an official release. The full reservoir level is 120 ft.

The quantum of water released by Karnataka is expected to continue for the next three days.

After the meeting, the chief minister directed the release of water from Mettur Dam 3 pm onwards on Sunday to irrigate the short-term standing ‘kuruvai’ crops, which would also enable people to celebrate the ‘Aadiperukku’ festival in the coming days with fervour, the release added.

Initially, 12,000 cusecs of water will be released from the reservoir, which acts as a lifeline for the Cauvery delta districts, including Thanjavur and Tiruchirappalli, and the quantum would be increased gradually, based on the inflow, it said.
