The Tungabhadra Reservoir popularly known as ‘Lake view’ by all the youngsters around, has now been attracting tourists because of its serenity and peaceful winds hustling throughout, blessing people with happiness and a sense of calmness because of the increased water levels.
As the inflow to the Tungabhadra Dam has increased, the water has been giving people in and around, a specifically strong reason to visit the cloudy and all-tranquil spot in Munirabad. The tourists who usually returned back after visiting Hampi and the Zoological park have now added Tungabhadra Dam Reservoir to their ‘Must Visit’ Places list.
The reservoir has been seeing an inflow of 43,407 cusecs of water. Since last week, an increased inflow of water in the reservoir is being recorded, said G Nagamohan, the Chief Secretary of the Tungabhadra Dam Governing Council.
Last year this day, 35,138 cusecs of water were recorded. The inflow to the dam has seen a drastic increase when compared to last year. The farmers depending on the water from the Tungabhadra reservoir for irrigation purposes have been joyful too. The increase in the tourist numbers has been fascinating since it is popularizing the ‘little beach’ vibes near Hosapete.
The water from Tungabhadra has become the life-giving source to many living beings and farmers in Gangavati, Koppal, Raichur, Ballari and Vijayanagara Districts.
