Abstract

The article focuses on the ceremonial release of water from the Stanley Reservoir in Mettur, Tamil Nadu, marking the start of the irrigation season for delta farming. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, accompanied by seven Cabinet Ministers, performed the water release on the traditional date of June 12, an event significant for the state's agricultural community. The initial discharge was set at 3,000 cubic feet per second, with plans to increase it to 10,000 cubic feet per second, supporting Kuruvai cultivation and generating hydroelectric power. The article also notes the dam's current water levels and the historical context of the water release timing. [Extracted from the article]
