    Telangana has been experiencing heavy rainfall for the past two days. This has led to flooding in various parts of the state. The Krishna and Godavari rivers are overflowing due to excessive rains in the upper areas and river basins.

    The Jurala dam in Gadwal district is also facing flooding. This is because of heavy rains in upstream Karnataka. Currently, the Jurala dam is receiving a flood flow of 92,000 cusecs.

    Due to this, officials have opened 17 gates of the project. They are releasing a flood of 67,000 cusecs downstream. Additionally, 33,000 cusecs of water is being released downstream through power generation. The water level in the dam has reached 317.17 meters. This is close to its full capacity of 318.516 meters.
