Q. Krishnaraja Sagar and Kabini dams, recently seen in the news, are located in which state?
Answer:
Karnataka
Notes: A flood alert has been issued for low-lying areas downstream of Karnataka's Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) dam due to a water inflow exceeding 69,000 cusecs. The alert affects regions along the Cauvery river in Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts. The KRS dam's inflow surpassed 60,000 cusecs for the second consecutive day, prompting a release of 50,000 cusecs. The Kabini dam also recorded high inflows. Rising water levels have led to the closure of tourist sites like Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary.
