( SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHW AL )

(a) to ( c) Central Water Commission (CWC) monitors live storage status of 91 reservoirs o country  and  issues  weekly bulletin  on  every  Thursday.  As  per  reservoir  storage  bulletin 08.03.2018,  live  storage  available  in  these  reservoirs  is 54.394 BCM,  which  is  3 4%  of  total  live storage capacity of these reservoirs.  The live storage available in these reservoirs on 8.03.2018 is 89% and 91% of live storage of last  year and average live storage of last ten  years r during the corresponding periods. The reservoir capacity and availability of water as on 08.03.20 the above 91 reservoirs is given at ANNEXURE I.

As per CWC reservoir storage bulletin issued in the last week of February, 2018, so reservoirs have storage less than 80% of average of last ten years storage. The main rea decline in storages are low rainfall in the cat chment areas and various uses during the period. T overcome the situation, Chairman, CWC issued advisories to the concerned State Government to avoid any distress to people on 27.02.2018.
