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.

Meanwhile, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim at a meeting here on Tuesday said water will be supplied regularly across Mangaluru rather than the current arrangement of once every two-three days. “The supply will be regular till the water level at the dam goes below 3feet,” he said.

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.

The government authorities and the citizens should start taking necessary steps from now itself for water conservation and rain water harvesting activities so that similar drought like situations are not felt next year.
