Despite a brief spell of rainfall plummeting the maximum temperatures in central Kashmir on Monday, the water level in River Jhelum has shown "only a marginal rise," while the water scarcity continues to grip several areas of Srinagar, triggering fresh public anger.
As per the data from the Irrigation and Flood Control (I&FC) department, as accessed by the news agency, the water level at Sangam stood at 0.51 feet on July 8 (today), up from 0.33 feet on July 7, but still lower than 0.57 feet recorded earlier.
The same trend was observed at other key locations: Munshi Bagh’s gauge rose to 2.11 ft (from 1.94 ft), but was down from 2.47 ft the previous day. Asham increased from 2.14 ft to 2.30 ft, while Wullar Lake's level slightly dipped to 1574.75m compared to 1574.97m on June 30.
