Siruvani: water level rises by 3 ft in a day

Water level in the Siruvani Dam rose by three ft in 24 hours since Saturday morning owing to heavy rain in the catchment. Water stood at 54.28 ft against the full reservoir level (FRL) of 67.44 ft on Saturday. But heavy rain throughout the day in the catchment brought substantial inflow to the dam and the level was three feet more on Sunday morning, Corporation sources said.

If the heavy spell of rain continued, the prediction of a surplus next month might come true, they said.
