Shravana heat leaves Vizag residents sweating

Residents in the city have been experiencing summer-like conditions over the past few days with day temperatures rising, despite the southwest monsoon season. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Waltair area (near the RK beach) recorded maximum temperature at 33.3° Celsius, which is 1.8 degrees above normal. At Visakhapatnam airport on Wednesday, the maximum temperature recorded was 35° Celsius, which is 2 degrees above normal. According to the State meteorological department, the highest maximum temperature recorded was 37° Celsius at Pendhurthi in Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, followed by Bhimili, Arilova and its surrounding areas at 36° Celsius. Traditionally, as per the Telugu calendar, the Shravana month is usually associated with abundant rainfall. However, such weather phenomenon during the holy month has not been witnessed. While the recent low pressure system over the Bay of Bengal near the Kolkata coast brought torrential rainfall across south coastal Andhra Pradesh, the low pressure area bypassed Visakhapatnam even though it is is closer to Kolkata than Vijayawada. With these dry weather conditions, people are facing intense humidity and scorching sun. They are resorting to using umbrellas and switching on the air conditioning to beat the heat. Moreover, in many areas groundwater levels have dropped resulting in low water supply from borewells. Meanwhile, the IMD in its forecast bulletin on Wednesday said: 'Strong winds gusting up to 40-50 kmph are likely to prevail in north coastal Andhra Pradesh till August 3.

Sagar nearly full, Uttam to release water today

1 2 Hyderabad: After almost 18 years, water will be released from Nagarjunasagar in July. Generally, the Sagar dam reaches full reservoir level (FRL) of 590 feet in Aug. However, this year, due to good inflows from upstream areas on the Krishna River, the Sagar water level has reached 583 feet, with a total water reserve of 293 thousand million cubic feet (tmc ft) against the full capacity of 312 tmc ft. Irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy would formally open the gates and release water downstream on Tuesday. The irrigation department, through six gates, would release 50,000 cusecs of the total 1.40 lakh cusecs it has been receiving from upstream areas every day. It would help the farmers of both Telangana and AP irrigate about 11 lakh acres in the upcoming kharif season. The AP govt, which controls the Srisailam project upstream of Nagarjunasagar, started releasing water in the past few days. Against the FRL of 885 feet, the present level at Srisailam is 882 feet. Irrigation officials said that for the kharif season, the farmers might require 60-65 tmcft of water. Of the approximately 11 lakh acres in both Telugu states, the ayacut in Telangana is about seven lakh acres under the Nagarjunasagar left bank canal.

Generally, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) undertakes emergency pumping to provide water during peak summer as Sagar is now the primary source of water to the city. Of the 590 million gallons per day (MGD), the city gets 490 from Krishna three phases. This year, the water board was under pressure to meet the demand as temperatures started soaring in Feb-March itself.
