Explanation:

The loss of storage because of accumulating sediments — carried as the river flows — is seen primarily in reservoirs of north Karnataka. Basavasagar dam and Malaprabha dam across the Krishna have seen more than a fourth of their storage being eaten up by accumulating silt. Officials, however, said that as the dams have not been pushed to their design limit, the loss of storage was “yet to be felt”.

At the Tungabhadra dam, the situation is acute and manifests itself as overflowing water during periods of intense rains. On an average, nearly 17 days of overflow is observed.
