The water flow at Hogenakkal has decreased to 3,000 cubic feet.

Tamil Nadu: Due to a reduction in the amount of water released from Karnataka’s dams into the Cauvery River, the water flow at Hogenakkal has decreased to 3,000 cubic feet per second.

In recent days, there has been no rainfall in the Cauvery River’s catchment areas and surrounding regions, and they have dried up.

However, due to the release of more water from Karnataka’s dams into the Cauvery River, the water flow had remained at 6,000 cubic feet per second.

In this situation, the water flow in the Cauvery River is continuously decreasing as the amount of water released from Karnataka’s dams has been reduced.

Until Monday, the water flow at Hogenakkal was 4,000 cubic feet per second.

Then, by Tuesday, it had decreased to 3,000 cubic feet per second. Due to the continuous decrease in water flow, the flow in the main waterfall, the Sini Falls, Aindaruvi, and Aivar Falls has diminished, and the rocks are now visible.

Furthermore, due to factors such as the lack of rainfall in the catchment area and the reduction in the release of excess water from Karnataka’s dams, the water flow in the Cauvery River is continuously decreasing. Therefore, officials from the Central Water Resources Department are continuously monitoring the water flow levels at Hogenakkal in the Biligundulu area on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border.
