NEW DELHI: With the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting a heavy rainfall at isolated places of Tamil Nadu and Kerala over the next 24 hours in view of Cyclone Ockhi, the Central Water Commission (CWC) has stated the pouring would possibly trigger a rapid upward push within the water degree of the rivers within the two southern states.
A CWC advisory stated the west-flowing rivers in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Kottayam, Alappuzzha and Ernakulam in Kerala have been more likely to upward push over the next 24 hours and then, slowly fall as the rain decreased.
However, the rivers in Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari have been more likely to remain in a "high flood" situation during the period, the advisory stated, including that the water degree in these rivers used to be anticipated to dip as the impact of the rainfall decreased.
The Papanasam and Manimutharu dams in Tamil Nadu have been more likely to get heavy inflows because of the rainfall for the next 12 to 24 hours. The east-flowing Tambraparani river used to be more likely to upward push all alongside its direction in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts of the state during the next two-three days, the advisory stated.
Similarly, the Vaigai river used to be more likely to upward push and a "significant inflow" used to be anticipated to be added to the Vaigai dam during the period, it added.
"However, as there is a sufficient cushion, the releases may not immediately be required," the advisory stated.
The CWC stated the Amaravathi and Bhavani rivers and their tributaries within the Cauvery basin have been also anticipated to obtain enough flows, expanding the water ranges within the Amaravathy, Moyar, Pilloor and Bhavanisagar dams within the Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode districts of Tamil Nadu.
The rainfall used to be also more likely to cause a upward push within the water degree of the Gomukhi and Wellington dams in Villupuram and Cuddalore districts of the state respectively, the advisory stated.
"The lakes around Chennai are also expected to get sufficient inflows during the period between December 2 and 6," the fee stated.
"The release from the Sathanur dam has to be accordingly monitored, in view of the developing situation in association with the well-marked low pressure in the Bay of Bengal which is likely to become a depression and move towards the North Tamil Nadu-South Andhra Pradesh coasts," it added.
The Somasila and Kandaleru tasks in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh have been also more likely to obtain "significant inflows" because of the depression, which used to be more likely to have an effect on the southern parts of the state from December five onwards.
"There is a likelihood of a rapid rise in the water levels of the Suwarnamukhi and Kalingi rivers in Chittoor and Nellore districts," the fee stated.
