Central Water Commission (CWC) under Ministry of Water Resources is monitoring storage position of 76 important reservoirs spread all over the country, of which as many as 31 reservoirs have significant hydro-power benefits with installed capacity of more than 60 MW each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The combined live storage in these 76 reservoirs at the beginning of monsoon i.e. 1st June, 2006 was 22 per cent of their designed capacity and stood at 82 per cent of the designed capacity as on 26th October 2006. The present storage is 105 per cent of the last year\u2019s storage and 124 per cent of last 10 years average storage during the same period. Out of these 76 reservoirs there are presently 4 reservoirs where this year\u2019s storage is 80 per cent or less than the average of previous 10 years. <\/p>\n
In order to derive the best possible benefits from the available water, Central Water Commission is keeping in touch with the Department of Agriculture and Co-operation and providing information of the weekly storage position to the Crop Weather Watch Group for evolving suitable crop strategies and also appraising the situation to various Departments and Ministries involved in Water Resources Planning.<\/p>\n
Basinwise storage position as on 26th October\u201906 is as follows:<\/p>\n
The storage position in all the basins namely Indus, Ganga, Tapi, Mahi, Sabarmati, Narmada, Rivers of Kutch, Godavari, Krishna, Mahanadi and Neighbouring East Flowing Rivers, Cauvery and Neighbouring East flowing Rivers and West Flowing rivers of South is better than average of previous 10 years. <\/p>\n
Out of 31 reservoirs with significant hydro potential, 4 reservoirs have storage build up less than the average of last 10 years capacity and no reservoir has negative storage i.e. less than MDDL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-env-geography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citynews.co.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
