Sambalpur: The Hirakud Dam witnessed a rise in the water level for the third consecutive day. It touched 613.52 feet against the optimum height of 630 feet on Sunday following continuous inflow of water.
According to sources, 1,46,686 cubic feet water per second was entering the dam against the outflow of 14,280 cubic feet water.
