Krishna water from Andhra Pradesh will stop flowing into city reservoirs in a couple of days. The release of water from the Kandaleru reservoir in Andhra Pradesh has been reduced as waterbodies feeding the city are brimming with water.
On Friday, the State border of the Kandaleru-Poondi (K-P) canal at Uthukottai, Tiruvallur, received nearly 407 cubic feet per second (cusecs) of Krishna water. In a few days, this will be reduced gradually and inflow into Poondi Reservoir through the canal will cease.
Officials of the Water Resources Department said it was decided to reduce water discharge from Kandaleru reservoir to a minimal 400 cusecs as the needs were limited in localities en route.
