July 23, 2019
Coimbatore : Water released in the Cauvery in Karnataka started reaching Mettur dam in Salem district on Tuesday.
According to official sources, 1,500 cft water started coming into the dam, which was utilised for irrigation in the Cauvery Delta districts of Tamil Nadu.

The maximum level of the dam is 120 ft and the maximum capacity level 93.47 TMC.
