No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Meenkara 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.
Meenkara is at red alert, with storage steady at 16% and the water level at 151.49 m, just 0.30 m below the 151.79 m FRL; there is currently no spill. Recent rain of 19.4 mm is the main driver, while the forecast is lower at 3.4 mm in 24 hours and 16.5 mm in 72 hours; the next escalation would be triggered if the level reaches FRL and spilling begins, especially if flood risk rises from 39.
