Gadwal: On July 21, 2025, at 6:00 PM, the Narayanpur Reservoir was nearly full, holding 92.55% of its total capacity due to recent continuous water inflows. Currently, the reservoir contains 30.832 TMC of water, close to its maximum of 33.313 TMC, with a level of 491.71 meters.
The inflow rate in the past hour was 70,000 cusecs. Water is being released at 65,955 cusecs, with 59,955 cusecs through 20 gates and 6,000 cusecs via the MPCL hydropower channel. Water distribution includes 4,000 cusecs to the Narayanpur Left Bank Canal, 1,000 cusecs to the Narayanpur Right Bank Canal, 173 cusecs to the Rajolibanda Lift Irrigation Scheme, and 186 cusecs to the Mahadevpur Lift Irrigation Scheme.
The India Meteorological Department reports light to moderate rain in upstream areas, with a forecast of reduced inflows to the Almatti Dam over the next week. Consequently, from 7:00 PM on July 21, 2025, outflows from Almatti will decrease from 60,000 cusecs to 42,500 cusecs.
As the reservoir approaches full capacity, officials are closely monitoring the situation. Controlled water releases are in place to manage levels and safeguard downstream areas. The reduced inflow from Almatti will help maintain stability in the Narayanpur Reservoir and nearby rivers.
Officials and local authorities are urged to remain vigilant and coordinate with dam operations. Farmers near riverbanks should stay informed of any changes in water release schedules.
