Early monsoon boosts Karnataka's major hydel reservoirs, doubling storage from last year, promising increased power generation potential.
The early onset of monsoon and vigorous rainfall in the Malnad region in the last couple of weeks have resulted in Karnataka’s major hydel reservoirs reporting storage which is double of that during the corresponding period in the previous year.
The cumulative storage in all three major hydel reservoirs of the State — Linganamakki, Supa, and Mani — accounted for 28.62% of the full capacity at 8 a.m. on June 19 as against 13.79% during the corresponding period last year.
