Bleak scenario: State’s hydel storage second-lowest in last 10 years
Karnataka is facing a severe power crisis as hydel reservoir levels have dropped to their second-lowest point in a decade due to a deficit monsoon. Major dams like Linganamakki, Supa, and Mani are currently holding significantly less water than they did at this time last year.
Why it matters
The depletion of hydel reserves threatens the stability of the state's power grid and highlights the vulnerability of energy infrastructure to climate-driven weather patterns.
The deficit monsoon has already cast its shadow over Karnataka ’s power sector, with the State’s present hydel storage being the second-lowest in the last 10 years.
The report relies on statistical data from the Energy Department and presents the situation as a factual assessment of resource management.
