21% rain deficit in Bengaluru
Take for instance, the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS), currently holding 21.28 TMC of water as of October 1, 2023. Contrast that with the previous year, where it held a much healthier 47.73% (with a gross capacity of 49.45 TMC). Linganamakki, one of our largest hydel reservoirs, is similarly struggling with just 69.09 TMC against its previous 140.42 TMC (with a gross capacity of 151.75 TMC).
