Water Bodies Overflowing in Nellore District
Tanks, streams, and rivulets in Nellore district are filled to the brim due to continuous rainfall over the past few days.
The Meteorological Department reported an average of 57 mm rainfall across 38 mandals, totaling 803.8 mm. The highest rainfall was recorded in Lingasamudram at 80 mm, while Thotapalli Gudur received the lowest at 3.8 mm.
- Somasila reservoir received significant inflows, storing 70 tmcft out of its 78 tmcft full capacity.
- Kandaleru dam holds 70 tmcft against its 64 tmcft Full Reservoir Level (FRL).
Officials are releasing water from Somasila into the Pennar river to prevent flooding in nearby villages. Low-lying areas, including the city, are experiencing waterlogging, with water levels reaching knee-deep in some areas.
Paddy and commercial crops have been damaged in several mandals, and authorities will conduct a crop loss assessment once the water recedes.
