STORAGE STATUS OF IMPORTANT RESERVOIRS IN THE COUNTRY

(AS ON 06.01.2011)
1. Central Water Commission is monitoring storage status of 81 important reservoirs spread all over
the country of which 36 reservoirs have hydropower benefit each with installed capacity of more
than 60 MW. These reservoirs are identified thus (*) in the enclosed weekly report.

2. The total live storage in 81 important reservoirs in different parts of the country, monitored by CWC
as on 06.01.2011 was 102.311 Billion Cubic Meter (BCM) (67 per cent of the storage capacity at
FRL). The current year’s storage is nearly 133 percent of the last year’s storage and 141 percent of
the average of last ten years.
3. Regionwise storage status:
