Recently, due to continuous rainfall in Dakshina Kannada district, the water level of the Netravati River has risen sharply, leading to precautionary evacuation from low-lying areas. The Netravati River is a major west-flowing river in Karnataka and is often called the lifeline of Dakshina Kannada district. It originates from the Bangrabalige Valley of Yelaneeru Ghat in the Kudremukha range of the Western Ghats in Karnataka. The river starts at an elevation of about 1,300 meters in Chikkamagaluru district. It merges with its main tributary, the Kumaradhara River, at Uppinangadi.
