Farmers who were facing the threat of crop damage heaved a sigh of relief as it continued to rain.
Although water storage in the Basavasagar Reservoir stood close to the full reservoir level, officials of the Krishna Bhagya Jal Nigam Limited are waiting to release water into the Krishna river course as the amount of inflow at the reservoir from Alamatti dam was very low even on Sunday.
