Reservoir Water Levels and Flow Data Released for Tamil Nadu
IN · Published Aug 25, 2026
• The Indian Meteorological Service (IMS) has released updated data on water storage and flow levels for major reservoirs in Tamil Nadu.
• Key reservoirs such as Harangi, Hemavathy, Bhavanisagar, Amaravathi, and others have reported varying levels of water storage and inflow.

Impact & Risks

The data indicates that water levels in some reservoirs are below their full capacity, which could impact water availability for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use in Tamil Nadu. For instance, the Bhavanisagar reservoir is significantly below its full capacity, which may affect irrigation and drinking water supply in the region. Conversely, reservoirs like Harangi and Hemavathy are closer to their full capacity, which could pose a risk of flooding if heavy rainfall occurs. The varying water levels underscore the need for careful reservoir management to balance water supply and mitigate potential risks.
