Narayanpur Reservoir at 92.55% Capacity; Outflow to River Adjusted Amid Declining Inflows from Almatti
Gadwal: As of 6:00 PM on July 21, 2025, the Narayanpur Reservoir has reached 92.55% of its full storage capacity, following sustained inflows over the past few days. The reservoir is currently holding 30.832 TMC (Thousand Million Cubic feet) of water against its maximum storage capacity of 33.313 TMC at Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of 492.25 meters. Current Status: Present Reservoir Level: 491.71 meters Inflow (Last One Hour): 70,000 cusecs Outflow to River: 65,955 cusecs Through 20 gates: 59,955 cusecs Through MPCL (Hydropower channel): 6,000 cusecs Canal Releases: Narayanpur Left Bank Canal (NLBC): 4,000 cusecs Narayanpur Right Bank Canal (NRBC): 1,000 cusecs Rajolibanda Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS): 173 cusecs Mahadevpur Lift Irrigation Scheme (MLIS): 186 cusecs Rainfall & Inflow Forecast: According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), rainfall in the upper catchment areas is currently moderate to light, and the inflow forecast for Almatti Dam is showing a declining trend for the next seven days. In light of this forecast, authorities have decided to reduce the outflow from Almatti Dam from the current 60,000 cusecs to 42,500 cusecs, effective from 7:00 PM on July 21, 2025. With the reservoir nearing full capacity, authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Controlled outflows are being maintained to manage reservoir levels effectively and ensure safety downstream. The reduction in inflow from Almatti will help stabilize water levels in the Narayanpur Reservoir and downstream river systems. Advisory: Irrigation officials and local authorities are advised to stay alert and coordinate with dam operations teams. Farmers along the riverbanks are also advised to follow official updates for any changes in water release schedules.

Bowling the blue funk away
St. Vital Like a nicely bowled ball on a manicured green, B-Cubed keeps gaining momentum in just the right way. Now in third year, B-Cubed — which stands for bowls, beverages and barbecues — will be held at Norwood Lawn Bowling Club (1202 Dakota St.) on eight consecutive Wednesday evenings between June 11 and July 30. B-Cubed is described as a social activity that gives participants a chance to learn a new sport and meet new people, as well enjoy some potentially gorgeous summer evenings in Manitoba. Ideally, those taking part are new or barely experienced bowlers, as the idea is to have fun without being too focused on the final score. Supplied photo Paulette Abraham is a key organizer of B-Cubed — which stands for bowls, beverages and barbecues — which will be held at Norwood Lawn Bowling Club (1202 Dakota St.) on eight consecutive Wednesday evenings between June 11 and July 30. The event consists of two leagues, as there are two available greens for the duration. At press time, 23 teams of four had signed up. The capacity is 32 teams, said key event organizer and NLBC treasurer Paulette Abraham. Once the capacity is reached, there will still be the opportunity for folks to be called upon as spares to join any given team. 'Everybody seemed to be having a good time last year,' Abraham said, noting the event is tailor-made for family members, friends, neighbours, or co-workers to come together to form a team. Most participants aren't club members that might generally bowl at a higher level, she added. 'The B-Cubed rules are very relaxed, and we'll happily give instructions on how to roll a ball beforehand and give a few pointers,' Abraham said, noting organizers have been fortunate during the last two years that B-Cubed has not been rained out, but if there is precipitation on any given night, activities will be moved inside. Talking about the sport of lawn bowling, in general, Abraham said many curlers often make good bowlers, as there's a similar skill set involved. And for those that might have mobility issues and a bit of trouble bending down, a metal arm that clutches the ball and acts as a bowling aid will be available to prospective participants, if needed. 'If you're looking for a fun way to stay active, and meet new people, this is a great way to do that,' Abraham, an avid bowler who plays three times a week on average during the regular season, said. 'When there's music playing during the event, people are dancing on the greens. It's fun, and I like the fact games are going on the whole time.' Registration deadline is May 22.
