Good news to Chennaites who have already started worrying about the water shortage in the reservoirs. The reason is the Andhra Pradesh government has released Krishna river water on Monday. If the present rate of flow of 1,000 cusecs (cubic feet per second) is maintained, the city could get a month`s supply of water (1 tmcft) in 10-12 days. The water from Kandaleru reservoir in Andhra Pradesh will reach Poondi on 16th January.
