Tamil Nadu reservoir storage at one-third capacity, water crisis looms

Aggregate storage in Tamil Nadu's 15 major irrigation reservoirs has fallen to about a third of capacity, versus 92% at the same time last year, due to a weak monsoon. The state faces a potential water crisis unless the northeast monsoon delivers adequate rainfall. This is a significant deviation from the seasonal norm and poses risks to agriculture, drinking water supply, and hydropower.
