The releases, as ordered, have sent water toward low-lying land in the Central Valley, and none of it will reach Southern California, water experts said.
Donald Trump has ordered the release of massive amounts of water from two California dams, leaving local farmers struggling to preserve freshwater resources.
The water level at the Mettur dam stood at 110.58 feet on Saturday against its full level of 120 feet. The inflow was 812 cusecs and the discharge 500 cusecs.
