With a rise in demand for irrigation water owing to summer, the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) has begun releasing close to 20,000 cusecs of water into the main canal of the Narmada dam. On Wednesday, SSNNL released 21,000 cusecs of water — the highest volume so far — as the average release has been around 10,000 cusecs from March-end. The current water level of the Narmada dam is at 120 metres with an inflow of about 10,000 cusecs from upstream dams in Madhya Pradesh. The current live storage of Sardar Sarovar is at 1,336 Million Cubic Metres (MCM) — 23 per cent of the total live storage. Along with its dead storage, the dam is about 58 per cent full, officials said.
