Over the past months, the dam's water level had decreased significantly, with a decrease down to as low as 5 feet due to the intense heat.

The last three days, however, have brought substantial rainfall, which has raised the water level by 10 feet now standing at. This surge in water level has led to an increase in the volume of drinking water being supplied from the dam, now estimating around 3.20 crore liters.
