Rule curve — seasonal operating target
No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Anayirankal in a form this platform can verify, so none is shown. Where an operating curve is published — as for Idukki after the 2018 floods — it is plotted against actual storage instead of being estimated.

Environmental & carbon accounting
Insufficient data- Reservoir methane (gross)
- 933 t CO₂e /yr
- Green carbon — catchment forest
- Not enough data /yr
- Blue carbon — sediment burial
- 98 t CO₂e /yr
- Hydropower grid offset
- Not enough data /yr
CH₄ from flooded land × GWP-100 (27), age-adjusted
Western Ghats forest sink, 60% forest cover assumed
≈ 98 indicative credits/yr
vs CEA grid 0.716 kg CO₂/kWh, 35% capacity factor
Net catchment balance: Not enough data/yr (forest + sediment sinks minus reservoir methane)
