Rule curve — seasonal operating target

No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Chulliyar 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)
Not enough data /yr

CH₄ from flooded land × GWP-100 (27), age-adjusted

Green carbon — catchment forest
Not enough data /yr

Western Ghats forest sink, 60% forest cover assumed

Blue carbon — sediment burial
Not enough data /yr

Hydropower grid offset
Not enough data /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)
