Substantial storage in major dams in western Tamil Nadu places Water Resources Department in comfort zone

The Hindu  

Substantial water storage in the reservoirs in Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts has placed the Water Resources Department in a state of certainty to assure water availability for agricultural and drinking purposes in the coming months. At the same time last year, the level was 80.02 feet and storage was 15,695 mcft. At Aliyar Dam, the level was 104.4 feet against the maximum depth of 120 feet, and storage of 2,807 mcft against the full capacity of 3,864 mcft. At the same time last year, the depth was at just 11.95 feet and the storage was dismal at 136 mcft. The level of 83.34 feet against the maximum depth of 90 feet at Amaravathy Dam is another cause for comfort for the Water Resources Department, though it was higher last year.
