With the monsoon yet to make landfall, the average water level in Gujarat’s 206 reservoirs has dipped to just 44.89 per cent, prompting renewed fears of a prolonged dry spell, as per officials.

Particularly alarming are the figures from Kutch, Saurashtra, and North Gujarat, where the water levels have fallen below 30 per cent.

Data show that 20 reservoirs in Kutch are currently at just 20.78 per cent capacity, 141 reservoirs in Saurashtra are at 28.47 per cent, and 15 in North Gujarat are at 29.56 per cent capacity.

While a handful of reservoirs still hold adequate water, the broader picture remains grim.
