Rule curve — seasonal operating target

AI analysis

Kanjirappuzha is at red alert with 87% storage, down from 88%, and the water level is 95.95 m versus the 97.5 m FRL. Recent rain of 26.2 mm and controlled releases of 15.66 cumecs through three spillway shutters and the river sluice are driving conditions; the next alert or operational escalation would be triggered if inflows push the level closer to the 97.5 m FRL despite forecast rain of 9.5 mm in 24 hours and 29.7 mm in 72 hours.
