Water levels in India's main reservoirs were at sixty one p.c of capability within the week to August. 30, down thirteen proportion points from a year gone, reflective this year's weak monsoon, government knowledge issued late on weekday showed.
The latest level was up to the 10-year average for the week. it had been four proportion points beyond the previous week, reflective improvement within the monsoon since the last week of July.
Reservoirs at primarily necessary for hydro power, that accounts for 1 / 4 of India's generation capability, however they're conjointly used throughout the summer for irrigation if monsoon rains aren't enough for planting crops like cotton.
The reservoirs offer water later within the year to irrigate winter crops like wheat and oilseed.
