The major reservoirs, such as Modak Sagar and Vehar, have reached full capacity at 100 percent, while Tansa and Tulsi have achieved 99.34 percent and 99.35 percent respectively.

The largest reservoir, Bhatsa, is at 95.14 percent. The lakes have benefited from substantial rainfall during the monsoon, with Upper Vaitarna receiving 45 mm of rain, Tansa 14 mm, Middle Vaitarna 16 mm, Bhatsa 19 mm, Vehar 9 mm and Tulsi 22 mm on Sunday. Several lakes have overflowed this monsoon, including Vehar on July 7, Tulsi on the same day, Tansa on July 22 and Modak Sagar on July 23.
