NEW DELHI: Water levels in India’s main reservoirs in the week to July 4 were at 30 percent of capacity, up 14 percentage points from the year-ago period, government data showed on Friday.
The latest reservoir level is above the 10-year average of 20 percent for the week.
Water levels at reservoirs are vital for hydro power, which accounts for a quarter of India’s generation capacity. They also provide water later in the year to irrigate winter crops such as wheat and rapeseed.
