No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Kuttiady (Kakkayam, KSEB) 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.
Kuttiady reservoir is at 61.84% storage, up from 59.69%, with the water level at 752.61 m against the 758.04 m FRL; all spillway gates remain closed and spill is 0 cumecs. The rise is being driven by 7 mm of rain in the past 24 hours, with 7.6 mm forecast over the next 24 hours and 31.4 mm over 72 hours; the next alert level would be triggered if the water level reaches the applicable alert threshold, which is not provided.
The Kakkayam (Kuttiady) reservoir on the Kuttiady river drives the Kuttiady power complex in Kozhikode district, expanded over the years to a combined installed capacity of about 225 MW.
