Mangalore, February 14: Krishna J Palemar, District in-charge Minister offered a special pooja for Thumbay vented dam through “Bagina” (thanksgiving) tradition on Monday at Thumbay near here.

Speaking to media persons later, he said the new vented dam which will be completed within a year, could store 14.70 Million Cubic Meters (MCM) of water against the 4.5 MCM capacity of the existing one.

While the storage at the existing dam lasted for 20 days at zero-inflow, the water stored in the reservoir after the construction of the new dam would be sufficient to serve for 90 days with zero-inflow, he said.

He said the new dam is of seven metres height as against four metres of the present dam.
