Mangaluru, May 25: The coastal city's water woes seem to be ending with Thumbe vented dam, the main sources of water to city-dwellers receiving sizeable inflow in last few days. On Tuesday the water level rose to 7 feet against maximum level of 13 feet.
The release of water from the Nekkiladi barrage in Puttur taluk has increased the inflow of water in the Thumbe dam. The barrage is at a distance of 28 km from Thumbe. On May 20, the water level at Thumbe was 3.9 foot. The gates of the barrage were opened on May 17.
Rain in upper reaches of the barrage has increased the water level in Nekkiladi and on Tuesday, water at Thumbe dam has reached 7 feet giving MCC a respite. Water level in the vented dam was 5.4 feet on Sunday. "Since there is good inflow of water flow, the level at the dam is expected to rise," Ibrahim added.
