Tungabhadra Reservoir Water Release Extended to Protect Rice Crop in Koppal, Ballari and Other Karnataka Districts
Karnataka officials have ordered continuous release of Tungabhadra water until November 20 to safeguard the late‑season paddy harvest in four key districts, including Koppal and Ballari.
The Karnataka government has officially decided to release water from the Tungabhadra reservoir on a continuous basis until November 20, aiming to preserve the final stage of the rice (paddy) crop in the state.
The water will be directed to the agricultural canals of four major districts, notably Koppal and Ballari, along with two other districts, to ensure adequate irrigation during this critical period.
Farmers in the affected regions rely on the timely supply of water to prevent loss of the late‑season paddy, which could otherwise suffer from water stress and reduced yields.
The decision underscores the state's commitment to supporting agricultural productivity and mitigating the impact of erratic rainfall on the upcoming harvest.
