KRISHNAGIRI: Farmers in Krishnagiri district have expressed concern about the presence of chemical foam in the water being released into the Thenpennai river from the Kelavarapalli reservoir near Hosur.
The water inflow into the Kelavarapalli reservoir has been 699 cubic feet per second (cusecs) for the last consecutive days. “Since the water level in the reservoir should be maintained at 41.33 feet, 699 cubic feet of water was released into the Thenpennai river," said a water resources department official on Monday. Chemical foams appeared in the water being released from the reservoir.
Farmers said it was unusual to see chemical foam in the river during a non-rainy season.
