90 yrs on, Mettur dam to be desilted
The New Indian Express
|April 12, 2024
IN a bid to make use of the low water level, the Water Resources Department has decided to kick start desilting works of the Mettur dam by the end of May.
-
The reservoir has not been desilted since its construction in 1934.
As of Thursday, the water level in Mettur stands at 57 feet against its full capacity of 120 feet. Official sources suggest that with funds from the state government, the department can hasten the process. However, approval from the Election Commission of India is pending due to the prevailing model code of conduct.
