  "account": "After two days of rain in Gujarat, the state's reservoirs have increased by 3% in water levels, but still remain 13.88% lower than last year's levels. The overall water reserve in the state is currently 3,191 million cubic metres (MCM) below the figures from September last year. The Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada River is 95.42% full, which is 316 MCM more than last year. However, reservoirs in Saurashtra are less than half full and the region remains severely affected. North Gujarat has seen the sharpest decline at 52.12%, while Kutch has recorded the sharpest percentage decline of 70.75%. Despite the recent rain, South Gujarat is still below its storage position from last year, with an 8.65% deficit.",
