Mettur Dam not to be opened for delta irrigation on June 12
The Mettur Dam will not open for delta irrigation on the scheduled date of June 12 due to critically low water levels and insufficient rainfall. This marks the 62nd time in the dam's history that the traditional opening date has been missed.
Why it matters
The delay in water release poses a significant challenge for agricultural planning and crop cycles in the delta region, highlighting climate-related water scarcity.
Owing to the low water level in the Stanley Reservoir at Mettur, the dam will not be opened on Friday (June 12), the scheduled date for the release of water for delta irrigation.
