India's Reservoir Storage Drops Below 90%

India's Reservoir Storage Drops Below 90%

India's big water storage places, called reservoirs, have less water than usual.

Right now, they have 80% of the water they can hold.

This is better than last year and the average over the last 10 years.

But it's still not great because it hasn't rained much.

Last week, there was 65% less rain than usual.

Some places, like the central and southern parts, have even less water.

Experts say it might get worse because there won't be any rain soon.

Only a few reservoirs are full, and most have less than 90% of their water.

It's important because we need this water for drinking, farming, and other things.
