Mysore/Mysuru, April 17 -- Water can be drawn till 70 ft., city continues to receive 249 MLD

The water level at Krishna Raja Sagar Dam (KRS), the main source of drinking water for Mysuru, has dropped to around 100 feet, raising concerns amid the summer months.

Officials, however, said there is no immediate threat to the city's water supply.

Authorities pointed out that water can be drawn from KRS until the level falls to about 70 feet, leaving a sufficient buffer for now. "There is enough storage to meet Mysuru's current drinking water needs," officials said.

At present, the reservoir stands at 100.47 feet, as against its full level of 124.80 feet. Of the total capacity of 49.452 tmcft, about 23.182 tmcft of water is available.
