PWD issues first flood warning
While the south-west monsoon is expected to set in another four days, the storage level in the Vaigai dam has crossed 66 feet on Wednesday. Since the permissible level of the reservoir is 71 feet, the PWD has issued the first flood warning. With copious rainfall experienced along the western ghats over the past month, the dam had been getting inflow from the Mullaperiyar reservoir. Farmers in five districts - Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram - are happy about the steady rise in the Vaigai dam as they depended on the water for irrigation.
