Rule curve — seasonal operating target
No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Peechi 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
Peechi is at yellow alert with storage steady at 81% and the water level at 77.9 m, 1.35 m below the 79.25 m FRL; spill is 0.88 cumecs, with one of four shutters open by 0.5 cm and additional outflow for drinking water. Forecast rain of 23.2 mm in 24 hours and 63.9 mm in 72 hours could raise inflows and the current flood risk of 34; the next alert level would be triggered when the reservoir reaches its designated orange-alert water level.
