Q: What’s the status of the Siruvani water facility? Im going to be buying a house in Coimbatore soon, and this sweet water is basically one of the things that is attracting me here.
Last I heard the reservoir was holding around 878.51 m which is approx 49.57 feet of water. This was at the beginning of Aug, I think the water quantity might have gone down a bit, because Aug didnt see as much rain as July. But still its quite a lot.
Yes I heard that there is overflowing of water at the dam! Its full capacity is 863.4 m, but owing to around 170 mm of rain at the end of July, it has crossed its capacity.
Ok last time I heard, the Siruvani water reservoir was completely full, thanks to the monsoon rain. And there was no water shortage. Whatever water problems residents are facing, the fault must lie in the water supply system, because the water is there.
