#Karnataka #Monsoon Almatti Reservoir (Krishna River), 19 July 2026, 6:00 PM Inflow: 56,161 cusecs Outflow: 15,000 cusecs Current Storage: 94.226 TMC Maximum Storage: 123.081 TMC Inflow into the #Almattireservoir has increased by nearly 16,000 cusecs compared to the morning, while the outflow to the downstream #KrishnaRiver has been raised by 9,750 cusecs to 15,000 cusecs, providing significant relief to downstream areas. If heavy rainfall continues across the Krishna basin catchment, inflows are expected to rise further, potentially allowing additional releases in the coming days.

#Karnataka #Monsoon #Koppal It continues to pour ⛈️
Mahesh M Goudar@IamMGoudar

#Karnataka #Monsoon Rain has graced Koppal for the fourth consecutive day! 🌧️ I honestly can’t remember the last time we witnessed four straight days of rainfall here. It poured heavily for about 20–30 minutes today. After years of erratic monsoons, moments like these truly feel special. Hope these dark rain clouds linger over Koppal for another week, bringing more steady showers and much-needed relief to the land. 🌧️

#Karnataka #Breaking Leopard Remains Elusive, Sparks Fresh Panic in Bengaluru’s Byadarahalli A #leopard has once again been spotted in #Bengaluru’s Byadarahalli, with CCTV footage capturing the big cat’s movement in the area for the #fourthtime. The elusive leopard was seen roaming near a residential locality, triggering fresh concern among residents. CCTV footage also shows the animal attempting to attack a dog near a house, though the dog narrowly escaped unharmed. Repeated sightings have left locals fearful, with many urging the Forest Department to launch an immediate and intensive operation to capture the animal. Residents have demanded that more cages and surveillance measures be deployed to track the leopard. As a precaution, people have been advised not to let children or pets venture outside unattended. The repeated sightings have created an atmosphere of anxiety in the neighbourhood, while all eyes are now on the Forest Department’s next course of action to capture the elusive leopard. @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda @aranya_kfd @GBA_office @GBAChiefComm

#Karnataka #Monsoon Karnataka Records 39% Rain Deficit; Crop Sowing Lags, Reservoir Storage Drops Sharply as CM Reviews Drought Preparedness #Karnataka has recorded an overall 39% deficit in #southwestmonsoon rainfall till July 18, triggering concerns over drought, delayed crop sowing and dwindling reservoir storage. Reviewing the situation through a video conference with Deputy Commissioners and Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officers on Sunday, Chief Minister @DKShivakumar directed officials to intensify drought preparedness and submit a comprehensive report to the Centre within 15 days. According to official data, 158 taluks across 26 districts have reported #rainfalldeficiency, while 20 taluks are facing severe rainfall deficit. Only 51 taluks have received normal rainfall. Region-wise, #Malnad has recorded the highest rainfall deficit at 43%, followed by #CoastalKarnataka (35%), #NorthKarnataka (33%) and #SouthKarnataka (31%). #Vijayanagara district has reported the highest district-wise rainfall deficit at 67%. The state’s reservoir situation has also deteriorated. Karnataka’s major #reservoirs currently hold 359.98 TMC of water, around 40% of their capacity, compared to 681.83 TMC during the corresponding period last year. #Hydropowerreservoirs, #Linganamakki, #Supa and #Varahi, are at an average of just 23% storage, while reservoirs in the #Cauvery and #Krishna basins are at 51% and 48% of capacity, respectively. The combined inflow into major reservoirs stands at 52,108 cusecs. Drinking water scarcity has already been reported in 122 taluks covering 539 gram panchayats and 17 urban local bodies. Water is being supplied through tankers and hired borewells in affected villages and urban wards. @DrParameshwara

Sir, Expecting 100 TMC of inflows may be a bit optimistic, though it’s certainly possible if the rain gods continue to bless the region. What we need is consistent rainfall through the rest of July and August. Even if the rains aren’t exceptionally heavy, steady and widespread precipitation should be enough to meet the expected water demand.

@IamMGoudar Hello Sir, Can we expect more rains in the krishna basin and any chance of 100 tmcs of water generated from these fresh rains...???

#Karnataka This video was recorded just three days before the passing of Smt. Chennamma. It beautifully captures the unforgettable and deeply emotional moments she shared with her husband, former PM @H_D_Devegowda. Their extraordinary bond of 72 years of #togetherness stands as a testament to enduring love, companionship, and unwavering support through life’s journey. @hd_kumaraswamy @Nikhil_Kumar_k

It may still be a little early to say. The Tungabhadra Reservoir still needs around 80 TMC of water to reach full capacity, while Almatti requires over 30 TMC. After that, Narayanapura Dam also has to be filled. Since these reservoirs are part of an interstate river system, Karnataka will eventually have to release water downstream in accordance with operational and statutory requirements. However, if the current spell of heavy rainfall continues across the Krishna & Tungabhadra basin and generates substantial inflows, Srisailam Reservoir could start receiving significant inflows much earlier than expected. 🤞

@IamMGoudar Sir, when Srisailam dam can receive inflows.

Shivakumar Appeals for Peaceful FIFA World Cup Celebrations, Reviews Drought Preparedness Chief Minister @DKShivakumar on Sunday appealed to football enthusiasts across Karnataka, particularly in Bengaluru, to celebrate the #FIFAWorldCup 2026 final responsibly and maintain peace. Speaking to reporters, the @CMofKarnataka said the government had granted necessary permissions following requests from several youngsters. He urged football fans to conduct themselves with patience and discipline during the celebrations. “We have given permission after receiving requests from youngsters. I appeal to everyone to celebrate peacefully, irrespective ofthe winner. The police have installed surveillance cameras across the city. Let us demonstrate that the people of Bengaluru are peace-loving and celebrate the occasion responsibly,” he said. On the prevailing #drought situation, Shivakumar said he would chair a review meeting on Sunday, stressing that governance cannot come to a halt because it is a weekend. “The drought situation does not pause for Sundays. District Commissioners, Superintendents of Police and the entire administration have to remain on duty, and so do we. This evening, I will also chair a Cabinet meeting. We have to work round the clock to tackle the situation,” he said. The Chief Minister added that the government has already released ₹1 crore to each taluk and said further directions on drought mitigation measures and relief works would be issued after the review meeting. @DrParameshwara

#Karnataka #Monsoon Almatti Reservoir (Krishna River), 19 July 2026, 8:00 AM Inflow: 40,559 cusecs Outflow: 8,233 cusecs (including 5,250 cusecs released to the Krishna River) Current Storage: 92.593 TMC Maximum Storage: 123.081 TMC Following a fresh spell of rainfall across the Western Ghats and the Krishna River catchment, inflows into the Almatti Reservoir have surged by nearly 35,000 cusecs over the past 12 hours. Consequently, the discharge to the Krishna River has been increased to 5,250 cusecs from 2,500 cusecs released yesterday, and is expected to be stepped up further later in the day if inflows continue to rise. The renewed monsoon activity has brought fresh optimism for farmers in the Krishna basin, raising hopes of adequate water availability for Rabi irrigation in at least four districts.
