The Tamil Nadu Water Resources Development Board (WRD) has indicated that water supply to Chennai is anticipated to be significantly curtailed by September’s end. The WRD is initiating maintenance activities on the Kandaleru-Poondi canal within the AP region, impacting water discharge from the Kandaleru reservoir. This reduction in water volume is a key component of the planned work. The WRD will be monitoring the reservoir’s storage levels to ensure sufficient water availability for essential needs. The delay in water release is expected to have a considerable impact on the city’s water supply.
