Water stagnation woes continue in Thoothukudi
The Tamirabharani experienced flood again on Monday following heavy rainfall in catchment areas of the major dams in the Western Ghats on Sunday night.
After the catchment areas of Papanasam Dam recorded 91 mm of rainfall on Sunday night, the reservoir, which is just five feet away from reaching its maximum level of 143 feet, received over 10,000 cusecs of water. Consequently, over 8,000 cusecs water was discharged from the Papanasam Dam. Meanwhile, over 2,000 cusecs of water was discharged from Gadana Dam in Tenkasi, which is about to reach its maximum level of 85 feet.
As the heavy discharge of water from Papanasam and Gadana Dams swelled Tamirabharani again, people living close to the watercourse were alerted.
