Krishna River water released from Andhra Pradesh’s Kandaleru Reservoir has begun reaching Chennai via the Telugu Ganga canal, improving reservoir levels amid summer demand. Despite initial delays due to canal issues, inflow is expected to strengthen the city’s drinking water supply
Chennai is set to receive Krishna water from May 15 after maintenance-related suspension by Andhra Pradesh Water Resources Department. The inflow will boost reservoir levels ahead of summer demand, strengthening city water security under the inter-state Krishna water-sharing agreement
According to officials from the Water Resources Department (WRD), the water released from the Kandaleru reservoir is likely to reach the Tamil Nadu border by Thursday evening or early Friday
