No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Karapuzha 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.
Karapuzha is at red alert, with storage rising from 43% to 66% and the water level at 757.15 m, 5.85 m below the 763 m FRL. The rise is being driven by 42.4 mm of rain in the past 24 hours; all three spillway shutters are open 10 cm, releasing 3.84 cumecs, alongside drinking-water outflow. The next alert trigger is not specified; forecast rain is 4.5 mm in 24 hours and 22.6 mm over 72 hours, with flood risk at 52 and landslide risk at 20.
