IN · Published Sep 3, 2026
The latest data on reservoir water levels across southern India has been released, highlighting current storage, inflow, and outflow rates.
Key reservoirs such as Mettur, Krishna Raja Sagar, Kabini, and Bhavanisagar have reported varying levels of water storage compared to last year.

Impact & Risks

The varying water levels in these reservoirs could impact irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation in the region. Lower-than-expected storage levels in some reservoirs, such as Vaigai and Bhavanisagar, may lead to water shortages, while higher inflow rates in others could increase the risk of flooding. Farmers and local communities relying on these reservoirs for agricultural and domestic needs may face challenges if water levels continue to fluctuate.
