India's Reservoir Storage Nears 90% Capacity
India's major water storage spots, called reservoirs, are almost full.
This is good news for farmers because they need water for their crops, especially during the winter season.
It's because India got more rain than usual this year.
Some areas got a lot more rain than others.
This means there's plenty of water stored up, which is great for agriculture.
The reservoirs are likely to fill even more as the monsoon season is ending.
India's key reservoirs are at nearly 90% capacity.
20% of the reservoirs are completely full.
The rainfall this monsoon season was 8% surplus.
Northern and Western regions have received excess rains.
The reservoir situation is beneficial for the rabi season.
