A total of 9,222 cusecs of water flowed into the Almatti reservoir in just two hours on Tuesday. The water level stands at 517.8 metres, while the storage was 94.919 tmcft, with a total inflow of 1,42,953 cusecs on Tuesday. The outflow was 33,100 cusecs. The maximum level is 519.6 metres.

The receding rains and decrease in inflow of water from Maharashtra into River Krishna and its tributaries led to the resurfacing of six low-lying bridges that had been submerged on Tuesday.  The bridges were reopened for traffic. Water inflow from Rajapur barrage in Maharashtra into River Krishna came down to 82,149 cusecs on Tuesday, while inflow and outflow of water from Hippargi barrage was 1.27 lakh cusecs.
