Water level at Mullaperiyar dam touches 136.8 feet


Thursday, December 1, 2011: The water level which crossed the maximum permissible storage limit of 136 ft in the Mullaperiyar dam on Sunday has risen to 136.8 ft on Thursday.
Even though the capacity of the dam is 155 ft, only 136 ft are permitted to store. With the rise in the water level, excess water is being flowed to Idukki reservoir via Periyar through 13 spillways.
The district collector had issued a high alert to those living on the banks of the Periyar River. The indefinite fast staged by Peerumedu MLA E S Bijimol seeking an immediate solution for the Mullaperiyar issue is still continuing.

Government of Kerala is ready to give the same quantity of water as is being given now to Tamil Nadu.
Then what is the concern of Tamil Nadu Government?
Cost of building the Dam? Or Tamil Nadu Government fear that 999 years lease period will stop once Kerala build a new dam in Mullaperiyar?
If Tamil Nadu won’t allow Kerala to build a new dam in Mullaperiyar, then this lease agreement will cease to exist once this dam collapses. Now the Dam is 116 years old and it will not stand for another 883 years. So to respect the common interest of people of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, both states should reach an amicable agreement about this dispute.
