Karnataka’s latest reservoir bulletin shows substantial inflows into several major dams, with the highest reported inflow at the Tunga reservoir and significant releases from the Tungabhadra, Almatti and Narayanapura reservoirs. The figures were published by Prajavani on September 28, 2026, and provide a same-day snapshot of storage levels, inflows and outflows across the state’s principal water infrastructure.
The bulletin lists the current level of the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir at 105.28 feet against a maximum level of 124.80 feet. It records an inflow of 817 cusecs and an outflow of 2,349 cusecs. The reservoir is a key part of the Cauvery water system and its daily levels are closely watched by irrigation and downstream users.
Harangi was recorded at 2,850.96 feet against a maximum level of 2,859 feet. The table reports an inflow of 881 cusecs and an outflow of 100 cusecs. Kabini stood at 2,269.13 feet against a maximum level of 2,284 feet, with an inflow of 1,372 cusecs and an outflow of 500 cusecs.
The Hemavathi reservoir was listed at 2,891.65 feet against a maximum level of 2,922 feet. Its reported inflow was 996 cusecs and its outflow was 300 cusecs. Linganamakki stood at 1,795.55 feet against a maximum of 1,819 feet, with an inflow of 3,703 cusecs and an outflow of 2,688.55 cusecs.
The bulletin also records levels for reservoirs measured in metres. Supa stood at 547.98 metres against a maximum of 564 metres, with an inflow of 1,088.48 cusecs and an outflow of 2,559.94 cusecs. Mani was listed at 586.02 feet against a maximum of 595 feet, with inflow and outflow both recorded at 358 cusecs.
In the Tungabhadra system, the reservoir level was reported at 1,624.27 feet against a maximum of 1,633 feet. The table lists an inflow of 1,639 cusecs and an outflow of 9,159 cusecs. Tunga stood at 588.18 metres against a maximum of 588.24 metres, with an inflow of 5,843 cusecs and an outflow of 5,970 cusecs. Bhadra was recorded at 175.85 feet against a maximum of 186 feet, with an inflow of 794 cusecs and an outflow of 4,010 cusecs.
The Malaprabha reservoir was listed at 2,065.62 feet against a maximum of 2,079.50 feet, with inflow and outflow both recorded at 201 cusecs. Ghataprabha stood at 2,174.70 feet against a maximum of 2,175 feet, with an inflow and outflow of 184 cusecs each.
Almatti was recorded at 518.70 metres against a maximum level of 519.60 metres. The table reports an inflow of 201 cusecs and an outflow of 14,490 cusecs. Narayanapura stood at 490.62 metres against a maximum of 492.25 metres, with an inflow of 8,871.11 cusecs and an outflow of 11,166 cusecs.
The figures are a point-in-time operational update and do not, by themselves, indicate whether levels are rising or falling compared with the previous day. The bulletin also notes that certain levels are measured from the ground level rather than the standard reference used for other entries. Reservoir authorities’ continuing management of inflows and releases will determine the next daily update.
