The data includes key reservoirs across the Satluj, Beas, Ravi, and Yamuna basins, indicating no immediate threat from reservoir overflow despite widespread rainfall and flooding incidents in several districts, the release said.
Karcham Dam (Satluj basin) recorded an inflow of 869.17 cumecs, with a spillway outflow of 410.21 cumecs and machine flow at 477.99 cumecs.
Live Events
Nathpa Dam received an inflow of 915 cumecs, releasing 512.26 cumecs through spillways.
Kol Dam, currently at a pond level of 637.59 m against a Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of 642 m, recorded a high inflow of 1231 cumecs, discharging 734 cumecs via machine flow.
Pandoh Dam (Beas basin) saw an inflow of 826.59 cumecs, with a combined spillway and machine outflow of 673.5 cumecs.
Larji Barrage recorded an inflow of 734.14 cumecs and released 457 cumecs through spillways and 234.13 cumecs through turbines.
The HPSDMA noted temporary shutdowns at a few locations due to high silt content: Baira HEP was shut down at 7:00 AM due to high silt levels. Plants like Sainj Barrage and Parbati-II remain in shutdown status.
Malana-II HEP continues to remain non-operational since August 1, 2024, following flash floods, with the dam gates kept open as a precautionary measure.
A spokesperson from the disaster authority reiterated: "There is no cause for alarm concerning dam safety across Himachal Pradesh as of this morning. Continuous monitoring is in place, and precautionary releases are being managed to avoid downstream flooding."
Despite severe weather impacts, including flash floods and cloudbursts reported in Mandi and other districts, dam levels have remained under control, aided by the timely regulation of inflows and machine discharges.
Authorities continue to monitor rainfall and reservoir data in real-time to coordinate any preventive evacuation or flow regulation as required.

In Gaza, summer heat amplifies the daily struggle to survive
In Gaza, summer heat amplifies the daily struggle to survive (Image: AP) KHAN YOUNIS: For Rida Abu Hadayed, summer adds a new layer of misery to a daily struggle to survive in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. With temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), daybreak begins with the cries of Hadayed's seven children sweltering inside the displaced family's cramped nylon tent. Outside, the humidity is unbearable. The only way the 32-year-old mother can offer her children relief is by fanning them with a tray or bits of paper - whatever she can find. If she has water, she pours it over them, but that is an increasingly scarce resource. "There is no electricity. There is nothing," she said, her face beaded with sweat. "They cannot sleep. They keep crying all day until the sun sets." The heat in Gaza has intensified hardships for its 2 million residents. Reduced water availability, crippled sanitation networks, and shrinking living spaces threaten to cause illnesses to cascade through communities, aid groups have long warned. The scorching summer coincides with a lack of clean water for the majority of Gaza's population, most of whom are displaced in tented communities. Many Palestinians in the enclave must walk long distances to fetch water and ration each drop, limiting their ability to wash and keep cool.

"And our situation is dire." Israel had blocked food, fuel, medicine and all other supplies from entering Gaza for nearly three months. It began allowing limited aid in May, but fuel needed to pump water from wells or operate desalination plants is still not getting into the territory. With fuel supplies short, only 40 percent of drinking water production facilities are functioning in the Gaza Strip, according to a recent report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. All face imminent collapse. Up to 93 percent of households face water shortages, the June report said. The Hadayeds were displaced after evacuation orders forced them to leave eastern Khan Younis. "Our lives in the tent are miserable. We spend our days pouring water over their heads and their skin," Yousef Hadayed said. "Water itself is scarce. It is very difficult to get that water." Unicef's spokesperson recently said that if fuel supplies are not allowed to enter the enclave, children will die of thirst. "Me and my children spend our days sweating," said Reham Abu Hadayed, a 30-year-old relative of Rida Abu Hadayed who was also displaced from eastern Khan Younis. She worries about the health of her four children. "I don't have enough money to buy them medicine," she said. For Mohammed al-Awini, 23, the heat is not the worst part. It's the flies and mosquitoes that bombard his tent, especially at night. Without adequate sewage networks, garbage piles up on streets, attracting insects and illness. The stench of decomposing trash wafts in the air. "We are awake all night, dying from mosquito bites," he said. "We are the most tired people in the world."
