Rain activity has abated further and lake areas witnessed hardly any precipitation. However, the Upper Vaitarna finally crossed the halfway mark due to moderate rainfall in the first half of the week and percolation effect.
While four out of seven lakes are already full and the combined water stock reached 78 per cent mark, one of the lakes, Upper Vaitarna, was lagging behind. The lake finally touched the 50 per cent mark on Thursday.
The lake has a capacity to store 2,27,047 million litres of water. Currently, it has stored 1,15,648 million litres of water. Other two lakes, Middle Vaitarna filled up to 83 per cent while Bhatsa, the largest lake, is 77 per cent full.
