Incessant rain led to a sharp rise in the water level of the Vamsadhara, Nagavali, and Bahuda rivers in Srikakulam district on Tuesday.
The rivers, which were in spate for the past one week, received huge huge inflows on Tuesday as well thanks to heavy rain in Srikakulam district and catchment areas in neighbouring Odisha.
The Nagavali received 30,000 cusecs of water followed by Bahuda with 20,000 cusecs. Irrigation officials are discharging excess water of the Vamsadhara from Gotta Barrage.
