- The Gogarbham dam and other reservoirs supplying water to Tirumala are facing severe depletion due to deficient rainfall and El Niño, with reserves estimated to last only 90 days. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has implemented stringent water consumption curbs and rationing to prioritize pilgrims. Officials are hoping the upcoming northeast monsoon will provide relief, with Telugu Ganga water as a backup option.
