Udaipur, 23 July – On Wednesday, the Madar Canal, which plays a crucial role in filling Fatehsagar Lake to overflow level, finally started flowing in Udaipur. Though the inflow began with very low volume, expected rainfall is likely to increase it. As a result, Fatehsagar may soon reach the overflow point. Meanwhile, the day passed without any rainfall in Udaipur city, and humidity remained in the atmosphere. Water flowing from the Ayad River is merging into Udaysagar Lake, leading to a rise in its water level. The 24-foot capacity Udaysagar Lake has reached 20 feet 6 inches, with 3 feet 6 inches still remaining. The gates of Udaysagar may be opened soon.
Canal Flow Begins from Chikalwas Head
The joy of seeing Madar Canal in action came on Wednesday afternoon around 1 PM when water started flowing through the canal. According to data received from the Water Resources Department, the Chikalwas Head feeding the Madar Canal is flowing at 1 foot 6 inches, and the tail end at 1 foot. Although the inflow in Madar Canal began slowly, it is expected to increase with upcoming rainfall. As ponds begin to overflow, the rainwater will directly reach Fatehsagar through the canal.
Swaroopsagar Gates Remain Open, Fatehsagar Still Needs 2.5 Feet
For the third consecutive day, all four gates of Swaroopsagar remained open by four inches. A two-inch sheet of water is also flowing over it. The water level of Fatehsagar has reached 10 feet 4 inches. The lake, which has a capacity of 13 feet, still requires 2 feet 6 inches of water to overflow. The flow of the Sisarma River has reduced by one foot and now stands at three feet. This water is being received due to the open gates of Dewas.
