Karnataka Records 4% Rain Monsone Surplus Despite Deficits in Seven District

Bengaluru: Even though there are seven districts watching rainfall deficits during June and July, the overall country received around 4 percent of rain monsoons, thanks to good spells in the last week of July.
According to the Karnataka state disaster management authority, the state has so far received 488mm rainfall, while an average of 471mm.
While in June Karnataka recorded 198mm against normal rainfall in 199mm (-1%), the number for July was 290mm which contradicted normal 271mm (+ 7%).
Seven districts that receive under normal rainfall are Hassan, Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, MySuru, Udupi, Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada.
After hitting the country in June and early July, Monsoon lost strength in mid-July, which caused slowing Kharif sow, in addition to inducing fear of lack of water throughout the state.
However, it gained momentum during the second half of July with almost 70 percent of the district watching the rain surplus.
Manoj Rajan, Commissioner, KSDMA, said the country received abundant rainfall between July 22 and July 26, reduced deficiencies and ensuring a large inflow to the large dam (486 TMC FT), which was 56% of gross storage.
While the South Interior of Karnataka received 78% of the overhauled rainfall in July, for the northern interior of Karnataka, it was 37%, he said.
Increased sowing: sowing is too increasing and far above the current average.
Rajan said sowing Kharif plants had risen to 59 lakh hectares compared with 52 lakh hectares during the same period (June-July) the previous year.
This is better than the average five years 48 lakh hectares.
“With a decent monsoon, sowing so far has been good, and we hope to reach the 77 lakh hectare target in the next few weeks,” said Brijesh Kumar Dikshit, Commissioner, Department of Agriculture, added that sowing corn has increased significantly this time.
The second half (August-September) of the Monsun also seems promising.
Citing IMD data, Rajan said the percentage of probability of rainfall forecast for the country would be normal and above normal.
“If someone goes with a pattern for the past five years, the Surplus Rain has been recorded in August and September, which leads to floods and landslides.
We are ready to handle the situation,” he added.
