Bisalpur Dam Faces Severe Water Inflow Shortage as July Rainfall Fails to Bring Relief
Bisalpur Dam has received only 0.35 TMC water inflow in July 2026, marking the second-lowest July inflow in 22 years. Unlike last year’s record-breaking 35 TMC inflow and gate opening on July 24, the current shortage has raised concerns among farmers awaiting stronger monsoon rainfall.
According to the available data, Bisalpur Dam has received only 0.35 TMC of water so far in July this year. This marks the second-lowest water inflow recorded during July in the last 22 years. The situation contrasts sharply with last year when the dam received nearly 35 TMC of water during July alone.
The significant water inflow last year pushed Bisalpur Dam to break a 22-year record, and the rising water level had forced authorities to open the dam gates on July 24. However, this year the scenario has changed drastically, with insufficient rainfall causing a slowdown in water accumulation at the reservoir.
The poor inflow into Bisalpur Dam has increased concerns among farmers who depend on adequate water availability for agricultural activities. With July nearing its end, expectations remain focused on the possibility of improved monsoon rainfall bringing much-needed water to the dam.
The coming days will be crucial as the region continues to wait for stronger monsoon activity. The water status of Bisalpur Dam remains a key concern, with the rainfall pattern expected to determine the future water availability and agricultural conditions in the surrounding areas
