Water level in dams in Tiruppur district receding fast, farmers encouraged to raise millets to tide over situation

The Hindu  

Water level in the dams in Tiruppur district that serve as irrigation sources is depleting fast, raising apprehensions among farmers about crops drying up due to the intense heat. As per the readings on Wednesday, water level in Amaravathi Dam stood at 58.43 feet against the maximum of 90 feet. Likewise, in Tirumurthy Dam, the water level stands at 25.39 feet against the maximum of 60 feet. Now that water has been released in Lower Bhavani Canal, farmers along its course have been requested to tap the water recharge for raising minor millet crops, M. Mariappan, Joint Director of Agriculture, said.
