Siruvani Dam water level rises to 21.50 feet
Water levels in Siruvani and Pillur dams have increased following recent rainfall in Coimbatore.
The water level in the Siruvani Dam, a key drinking water source for Coimbatore, has risen to 21.50 feet due to recent rainfall. Similarly, the Pillur Dam currently holds 83 feet of water.
With water levels dropping below 7 feet in June due to lack of monsoon rain, drinking water supply was significantly reduced. Following recent showers, the extraction of water has been increased to 60 million liters. Officials noted, however, that this is still lower compared to the same period last year.
Siruvani and Pillur dams remain the primary sources of drinking water for the Coimbatore Corporation and surrounding district areas.
