Godavari inflows at Dowaleswaram Barrage rise to 50,000 cusecs amid Cyclone Murasu rains
Inflows into the Godavari River at the Dowaleswaram Barrage in Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari region have increased from 30,000 cusecs to 50,000 cusecs on Thursday, following continued rainfall associated with Cyclone Murasu.
The rise in water inflows comes amid persistent rainfall across the Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh and adjoining regions of Telangana. With further rainfall expected in the river's catchment areas, inflows into the barrage are likely to increase over the coming hours.
Visuals from Dowaleswaram show water flowing across the barrage's spillway, reflecting the rising river discharge.
The increase has drawn attention to the Godavari's water levels, particularly as rainfall continues across its upstream catchment areas. Authorities are expected to monitor inflows and downstream conditions closely.
Residents in low-lying areas along the river have been advised to remain alert and follow official advisories as the situation develops.
