Rule curve — seasonal operating target
No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Moozhiyar 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.

AI analysis
Moozhiyar is at 189.4 m, 3.23 m below its 192.63 m FRL, with storage up sharply from 43.36% to 62.67%; all gates remain closed and there is no spill. Recent rain was 6 mm, with 19.7 mm forecast in 24 hours and 53.8 mm over 72 hours, so continued inflow could raise the level, but the data do not provide the water-level or storage threshold that would trigger the next alert.
