On the other hand, the water level in river Godavari at Bhadrachalam has been increasing steadily due to rains in its upper catchment and release of water from upstream projects. The water level reached 32 feet, informed Central Water Commission officials.

The water level may increase further to reach the first warning level (43 feet) and if that happens, standing crops in the villages on the banks of the river may be submerged.
