Despite heavy rain in parts of the Nilgiris due to Cyclone Tauktae, availability of drinking water in the district remains a concern till the onset of the South-West Monsoon, especially in Udhagamandalam and Coonoor.
According to officials, an average of 12.89 mm of rainfall was recorded over a 24-hour period in the Nilgiris since Monday morning, while there was significantly more rain on Friday and Saturday, especially in Gudalur, Pandalur and Kundah taluks.
However, despite the rain, water level at the Parsons Valley Reservoir remains at around 20 feet, which is only around 30% of its total capacity. Officials from the Udhagamandalam Municipality said that the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) has stopped drawing water from the reservoir for generation purposes to ensure that water remains available to supply Udhagamandalam town till the onset of the monsoon.
