According to the tank gauge report released by the Water Resources Department, as of July 19, the state\u2019s 46 major reservoirs have collectively reached 49.78% of their total storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The Kharang Dam in Bilaspur and the Khapri Reservoir in Durg district have already been filled to the brim, achieving 100% storage. Similarly, the Jhumka Reservoir in Koriya is at 98.84% capacity, Maniyari in Mungeli at 93.17%, and Chhirpani in Kabirdham at 91.14%, placing them among the best-performing water bodies in the state this season.<\/p>\n<p>Other key reservoirs showing moderate to high water levels include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimata Bango (Korba)<\/strong> \u2013 52.78%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ravishankar Sagar (Dhamtari)<\/strong> \u2013 53.26%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tandula (Balod)<\/strong> \u2013 29.29%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dudhwa Dam<\/strong> \u2013 21.87%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sikasar<\/strong> \u2013 45.21%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sondhur<\/strong> \u2013 23%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Murumsilli<\/strong> \u2013 21.57%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kodar<\/strong> \u2013 38.11%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kelo<\/strong> \u2013 30.96%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While several reservoirs are showing promising levels, others remain significantly below the halfway mark. For instance, Arpa Bhainsajar (Bilaspur), Maina (Kanker), and Balar Dam are each holding less than 30% of their capacity. Gondli Dam (Balod) has recorded 30.24%, while Kosarteda Dam (Bastar) stands at 42.57%.<\/p>\n<p>Notable figures from smaller and medium reservoirs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shyam Dam (Surguja)<\/strong> \u2013 69.38%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pipariya Nala Dam<\/strong> \u2013 77.64%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sutiyapat Reservoir<\/strong> \u2013 67.74%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mongra Barrage<\/strong> \u2013 62.62%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ghongha Reservoir<\/strong> \u2013 82.84%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Khamarpakut Dam<\/strong> \u2013 86.11%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kinkari Nala<\/strong> \u2013 80.31%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sukha Nala Barrage<\/strong> \u2013 72.95%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Karranala Barrage<\/strong> \u2013 72.64%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Water is currently being released through canals and sluices from reservoirs located in the Kharang, Maniyari, Kelo, and Sitanadi basins to support irrigation and manage overflow. The Water Resources Department has instructed local officials to maintain continuous monitoring of reservoir levels and ensure safety measures are in place.<\/p>\n<p>As rains continue across the state, authorities are closely watching water inflows to manage flood control and ensure adequate water availability for agriculture during the kharif season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water Resources Dept.
