Cauvery blew! Mettur Dam was opened by the Chief Minister

Water is being opened for the delta irrigation on June 12 from the Mettur Dam, due to lack of adequate water reservoir.

Water Supply for Mettur Dam is 1 lakh to 4,500 cubic feet per second. The dam’s water level is 105.75 feet. The water reserve is 72.49 tmc. At present, 1000 cubic feet of water is discharged from the dam

Five years later, the water level of the dam crossed 100 feet and today the Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy opened the dam.
