Bada Madar is still overflowing though the force is quite slow. Pichola is getting its share through the overflowing Sisarma River. Goverdhan sagar is full at 9 feet and water has started overflowing. Once Chota Madar starts overflowing, the water will prove to be a boon for Fatehsagar.

Akodara dam is yet to receive water. The dam’s capacity is 18.40 meters but it has received only 4 meters of water. Madri dam which has a capacity of 34 feet has only a little over 22 feet of water. Devas (I) which has a capacity of 34 feet is now at 30 feet as the gates of this dam were lifted to fill Lake Pichola and Fathesagar. The lakes are still getting water from Devas (I) dam.
