50k cusecs of water released from dams

Bokaro: Authorities in Jharkhand continue to release over 50,000 cusecs of water from the state’s dams into West Bengal in preparation for the anticipated rainfall on September 26 and 27.
The Tenughat Dam is discharging 2,650 cusecs of water, while the Panchet and Maithon dams are collectively releasing nearly 50,000 cusecs — a substantial decrease from the 3L cusecs released earlier in the week.
The Tenughat Reservoir Level Report, issued on September 22, indicates that the water level has reached 848.60ft (258.65 meters). The live storage stands at 24,155 hectare-meters, with a release rate of 2,650 cusecs through one gate.
“Flood Control Cell of the Tenughat Dam Division issued the report, notifying relevant authorities, including the principal secretary of the irrigation and waterways department of West Bengal, and the superintending engineer, for necessary actions,” said an officer.
