Spill through Tunacadavu is so negligible amount to 2-3 cumecs and TN diverts water from there through contour canal.
To get a perspective, the discharge through Chalakudy river at Poringalkuthu downstream is around 491 cumecs & further down at Arangali is around 954 cumecs.

Yesterday Kerala & TN engineers after a through deliberations, taken a decision to divert a part of flood waters from Lower Nirar to Idamalayar, as it has space rather divert it to TNS and from there to KS. Thus postponed KS spilling at least till this spell upto 10th.
Now inflow to Lower Nirar reduced and thus reduced inflow to TNS. Kerala-TN Engineers are reviewing the situation through VC at every 3 hours to see that situation can be professionally managed.
Whatever spate, you are seeing at Chalakudy river js due to the rainfall in the unregulated catchment area and not any dam induced flood. Please understand your rivers and rains #KeralaRains2020
