Inflow into Mettur reservoir comes down

SALEM: The inflow into Mettur reservoir came down to 16 cusecs on Monday, from 109 cusecs in the last couple of days.

The inflow came down since there was no rain in the catchment areas of the Cauvery river.

The water level in the reservoir stood at 65.64 feet on Monday. “We were releasing 1,000 cusecs of water from the dam for drinking water purpose,” said a PWD official.
