Insignificant SW Monsoon rain, Siruvani water level cause concern
The Hindu
As of June 12, water level in the 49.50 feet reservoir stood at 12.99 feet
In the last 12 days in June this year, the district has not received significant rainfall. This coupled with the falling water level in the Siruvani Reservoir has made the Coimbatore Corporation’s water managers worried. Prof. S.P. Ramanathan, chief, Agro Climate Research Centre, TNAU, said the district had recorded no rain in June, since the start of the South West Monsoon season. Only on Saturday, a couple of places in the district had received 0.5mm rainfall, well below the 2.5mm limit to consider it a rainy day. And, the total rainfall in the last 12 days was only four mm.More Related News
