**Krishna River Levels Recede, Bridge-Cum-Barrages Reopened in Karnataka**
**Belagavi, India – July 15, 2025** – Water levels in the Krishna River have receded, leading to the reopening of bridge-cum-barrages in at least eight locations across Karnataka. The decrease in water levels is attributed to reduced rainfall in parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Officials confirmed that the bridge-cum-barrages in Jatrat, Bhojwadi, Akkol, Sidnal, Kunnur, Karadaga, Yadur, and Manjari are now open for traffic.
The total water release from Maharashtra reservoirs into the Krishna and its tributaries was recorded at 51,948 cusecs on Tuesday, slightly higher than the 50,369 cusecs released on Monday. Notably, the Koyna dam released 5,500 cusecs into the Krishna for the first time this monsoon. The Koyna dam currently holds 76.5 tmcft of water, representing 72% of its full capacity, with an inflow of 25,478 cusecs.
Officials are not impounding water at the Hipparagi barrage due to the high inflow in the Krishna, which is currently in a free-flow state. The barrage recorded an inflow of 50,460 cusecs and an outflow of 49,810 cusecs.
The Lal Bahadur Shastri reservoir at Almatti has an inflow of 42,577 cusecs and an outflow of 25,000 cusecs, holding 97.13 tmcft of water, or 78.92% of its capacity. The Narayanpur dam recorded an inflow of 25,000 cusecs and an outflow of 3,000 cusecs, currently holding 30 tmcft of water, 90% of its full capacity.
