The total live storage in these reservoirs is 14,12,978 million litres (ML), compared to their total usable capacity of 14,47,363 ML.\n\nAmong the seven reservoirs, Vehar and Bhatsa are both at their maximum capacity of 100%, while Tansa, Middle Vaitarna, and Tulsi each have levels at 98.81%, 99.70%, and 99.25% respectively. Upper Vaitarna is at 94.90% and Modak Sagar sits at 98.18%.\n\nThe reservoirs received rainfall over the past 24 hours, with Tulsi receiving 5 mm and Vehar recording 4 mm.
