# Jurala gates closed after flood inflows decline 2026-08-09T06:25:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Telangana Today reports that officials closed the Jurala project gates on Sunday after flood inflows declined. Inflows are now at 80,000 cusecs, with 39,608 cusecs released downstream. The reduction followed lower rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka, which slowed releases from the upstream Almatti and Narayanpur dams. Officials have ruled out irrigation releases, warning that any such use would hurt drinking water supply next season. The reservoir currently holds 7.66 TMC against a full capacity of 9.65 TMC, with the water level at 317.51 metres. Power generation continues through all six units. The closure is expected to reduce inflows into the Srisailam project downstream. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Tags: drinking water, flood inflows, Jurala project, Krishna basin, reservoir levels, Telangana water Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jurala-gates-closed-after-flood-inflows-decline/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
